It's perfectly normal. Sometimes kittens will look cock-eyed with one eye perfectly open. Just keep the kittens in a warm, wuiet area, and don't force the eyes open.

Don't worry, your kittens are okay and are at the age to start opening their eyes!
Here is a very nice website with information about each stage of development from week 1 to week 12 of a kitten's life. And the pictures are so pretty!
Don't forget to get their wellness checkup and vaccinations about a month from now. Then when the kittens are old enough to quit nursing, please have Momma kitty spayed. It will make her feel so much better.
Enjoy your new kittens!

Oh... its perfectly normal! At days 6-10 they start opening their eyes! I've raised kitties before! At 21 days old, they should all be open, if not take a damp wash cloth and glide it across the direction of the eyes. That will help them stay clean and open... any questions email me!

Just like every person is unique, each kitty is too. People babies develop at different rates, and that is true for kitties too.. Normal.
