<upd_detl>i'm not sure i can agree, dear editors. eji's "開眼失行: apraxia of eye-opening | apraxia of lid opening" and "開眼能力: the ability to open one's eyes" do suggest a different meaning. よろしくお願いします...</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Amen, you didn't support your contribution with any references so I checked two major 国語 dictionaries and based my glosses on the following definitions:
Daijrin: "目が見えるようになること。また，見えるようにする。「―手術」"
Daijisen: "よく見えなかった目が、よく見えるようになること。また、よく見えるようにすること。「開眼手術」"
---------
I see now that Kojien has "眼を開くこと" in addition to the above so I've added a gloss to reflect that.

Please always cite your sources.

I'd also advise against using eijiro as a primary source. It's full of odd terms and translations.
"開眼能力", for instance, gets next to no real hits online.</upd_detl>

gg5: a Buddhist ceremony on consecrating a newly made ┏image [idol];

mk かいがん: ◇「芸道に─する」などと使うのは、別語である「開眼かいげん」の俗用。

I think this should be a separate sense from "spiritual awakening"</upd_refs>
