I would soak her in a wet towel. If it is retained she can soften it and rub it off on the towel. Peeling it off or trying tape is very possible going to damage her eye permanently. Worse case in my mind is wait til her next shed and be sure her humidity is good enough to shed her well. The easiest way that I have found to do this is to give her a sweater box of damp moss to hide in.
