Answer
I am sorry to hear this Lauren.  It is not strange nor abnormal for an animal to die with it's eyes open.  If this pains you, then just wrap the body in clean tissue paper and bury it somewhere safe to decompose and become part of the earth again.  Be happy that you had the opportunity to make your hamster's life interesting and fun, I am sure your hamster appreciated everything you did in it's life.
