  At that moment their eyes opened, and they realized they were naked.

  اِنْفَتَحَتْ — they opened. A past verb in the self-action pattern ('came open by itself'), agreeing as feminine-singular with its subject 'eyes' which Arabic treats as a feminine unit here. It comes before its subject, so it carries the singular agreement; the pattern stresses the eyes opening of their own accord.
