What I would do was just start feeding them, and make sure they see you feeding them and they will just slowly graduate to letting you get closer to them. Then what i would do was get some cat treats and hold it out to them, soon they will realize you will not hurt them.

Your cat had kittens outside what do you do?
It is best to bring the cat and her kittens inside the house to protect her from temperature extremes and other animals. Newborn kittens can't regulate their body temperature and they need to be in a warm room (75 degrees, ideally) without drafts. A box that you cut a hole in lined with blankets or old towels will make a comfortable nursing nest for the mother cat and her babies. The box should be placed in a dark or dimly lit room that doesn't get lots of foot traffic - a closet would be good as long as the mother has access to a litter box and food and water. The kittens should be left alone with their mother for the first week, as they need to nurse almost round the clock. The kittens shouldn't be handled at all in the first week or the mother may get too stressed from having her nest disturbed.
How old should kittens be before leaving mother?
Kittens should stay with their Mom until at least 10 weeks, thoroughly weaned. They learn all their skills from Momma Cat so never feel the rush to take them from the mother, as this can lead to serious problems for the kittens in later life.

Most baby kittens do not require eye care unless there is a discharge such as pus or blood.

A Veternarian may also give a baby kitten antiobiotic eye drops, or wipes specifically for newborn and small kittens.
