Exegesis
Each of the first two is expanded by a dative of means or instrument, tois ophthalmois {τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς | toîs ophthalmôis} ‘with the eyes’ and tē kardia {τῇ καρδίᾳ | tē kardíā} ‘with the heart’, preserving the concrete-metaphorical pairing from Isaiah.
In context — John 12:40
He has blinded their eyes and He has hardened their heart , so that they would not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.
