My 2-week-old kitten's eyes are small and covered. Is it blind?

Question

My cat had 2 kittens. They are 2 weeks old and eyes have opened. One kitten has two small eyes and the 3rd eyelid is covering half of both eyes. Is the kitten blind and can anything be done? Should I be worried? Pet's info: Cat | Ragdoll | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 1 month old | 15.5 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor baby! He might have been born with small eyes or the eyes got infected and were injured severely and permanently damaged. It also can be genetic or from drugs the mother received while pregnant. I wouldn't breed Mocha if this could be a genetic conditions If the eyes are painful, then they should be addressed when he is older. He may have to have the eyes removed. He likely can not see out of them anyway. If they are not painful then just leave the eyes be. I hope this helps!
