To me that really looks like "eye caps" left over from past sheds. If it was me I would see if I could easily remove them with tweezers. Before I attempted this I might keep the snake in very moist hide of sorts for a day or two to really loosen the old eye caps. If they don't come off easily I would not force it. In the past I have also really put the food to snakes with this issue (like every few days) and kept them on the humid side just to induce a shed cycle. A good shed will usually clear out old eye caps as well. However this is only good if what I see in the picture is actually stuck eye caps
