I know this may sound crazy but years and years ago a breeder told me the easiest way to remove eye caps is with a rubber band..lol.. It works GREAT !!!

just touching the rubber band to the eyes will take the caps off? That does sound crazy

I think they mean that you rub the rubber band against the eye cap. Since the rubber will kind of grip the eye cap it would pull it off. I've never tried it myself.
