No, I wouldn't worry yet - I would say up until 20/21 days is normal. Even though it is usually 18 days, you may have missed the day she gave birth by one night etc and this can carry over.
I would leave them to their own devices for a few days more and they should all pop open in their own time.
If you get to day 23 - then perhaps there is a problem (as with what happened to me one time) but there is nothing you can do either way with eyes by then anyway.
Fingers crossed yours are just delayed.
