You just need a warm wet cloth. Just plain old water will do. Once you get it open, just make sure there is no infection. If you wipe them once a day after they are open, it helps alot.

Ghostkitten,

Don't force the eye open. Try another warm compress and get the kitten to a vet. Green goo is a sign of infection. The vet will probably prescribe an optic ointment and will also be able to tell you if it has affected her sight, pupil, etc.
