16 day kitten, eyes not open

I have rescued an abandoned kitten. I am worried that the eyes are
not open yet at 16 days, even though her ears are up and she is
hearing. Her eyes show no sign of opening. I have had many litters
before and always the eyes are open by a week and a half. Does anyone
know the longest that it could take for eyes to open? My concern is
that the mother cat has had two litters in the past, by the same male,
that suffered birth defects. Any info you can give would be helpful.
Thanx so much.
