Crank up the humidity. Most of my snakes are in a rack and when one has a retained eyecap, I will pour/add some water to the tub (newspaper or paper towel as a substrate)this will increase the humidity and I will then leave the snake overnight, then in the morning will take a Q-tip and GENTLY wipe over the eyecap. This will usually work, but if you are unsure keep an eye on it and when he gets ready for his next shed increase the humidity after his eyes clear and all should go good. Most importantly be careful and don't force the issue.
