I've heard of some as early as 3 days up to 12 days, anything in between is normal. Its hard to predict and every kitty is different.

My rex kittens started to open eyes at 5 days to 10 days. As long as they are not in bright light when the eyes open, you are fine.

My kittens are 15 days old and their eyes are just starting to open
How long until they should come out of the dark closet and begin to see the world?

My cats were a week old on the spot when their eyes open..And their mom (being a brat) would not let them be kept anywhere but on my bed so they got to see the big bad world right off the hop

yeah, Buddha (the orange one) will only go exploring when i let her crawl on me but when the mom is around she wont let them out of the cage and she fusses at me for waking them up.
