Exegesis
The conjunction hina {ἵνα | hína} introduces a purpose clause, governing the present subjunctive anoigōsin {ἀνοιγῶσιν | a-noi-gô-sin} “may be opened,” which expresses the desired outcome rather than a simple future event.
In context — Matthew 20:33
They said to Him, “Lord , that our eyes may be opened.”
