Kitten Eyes Completely Open after the First Couple Weeks. The kittens' eyes will gradually become wider after the first week or so of her life. They will continue to open further until somewhere between two and three weeks of age, at which point they will be open completely. A kitten's ears will also open about this time, but her eyes do open first, meaning that she will begin to develop first her sense of sight during these first few weeks of life.
The kittens' eyes will begin to open around 7-10 days of age. Do not pry open the lids for any reason, as the immature eye is not yet ready to handle light. Some kittens will take a day to open the eyes while others will take 3-4 days. The retina matures around 5 weeks of age and the kitten sees clearly.
