But, the panel had just received 9 headbutts before finally opening on the 10th go.
Perhaps, the panel simply malfunctioned and opened as a result of the repeated hits, rather than the retinal scan itself.
For the purpose of the joke, we just have to accept that's what happened.
If the film was fully grounded in reality then Jason would probably have to find a way to hold the guards eyelids open, and ensure the eyeball hasn't rolled back, or perhaps remove the eyeball completely, in order to active the scanner.
These options would probably slow the pace of the scene too much, and eyeball removal is probably too gory for the film.

How retina scan technology works explain?
A retinal scan is performed by casting an unperceived beam of low-energy infrared light into a person's eye as they look through the scanner's eyepiece. This beam of light traces a standardized path on the retina.What is the difference between iris scan and retina scan?
Iris image can take from a distance, whereas retina scanning does it by bringing the person's eye near an eyepiece. Retina scanning is ideal for physical identification, whereas Iris scanning can take place in physical and digital scenarios. Iris scan has faster scanning than retina scan.Can a retinal scan be beaten?
In addition, retinal patterns cannot be altered intentionally, unlike fingerprints, which can be messed around with by burns, cuts, wounds, and sometimes even body lotion. Retinal patterns differ in identical twins, much like fingerprints.Which form of light is used in a retinal scan?
