Well, most people are assuming that the silver eyes affected Cinder because of the Grimm Bug used to syphon Amber's Fall Maiden powers, as well as the Grimm Arm she currently has.

Then again, now that I think about it, it's implied that magic was a gift from the God of Darkness, God of Destruction. And the silver eyes affect Grimm because they are beings of pure destruction. Perhaps the magic of the Maidens is power of destruction?

Also given that Salem threw herself into the Pools of Annihilation, where Grimm spawn from, which couldn't kill her because of her immortality but instead turned her into destructive witch, there's no telling how the silver eyes would affect her.
