You can try putting a little vaseline on his eyes to soften the caps and see if they will come of on their own, but your best bet is to take him to a qualified reptile vet and have them removed. Good luck.

A nice bath (luke cold) with a touch of mineral oil has helped me out before... If it is a serious problem, PLEASE have a herp specialist assist you with it....
