    Leave the eye caps alone and make sure your humidity/husbandry is where it should be.

Wrinkled eyes often signify a lack of humidity or dehydration. Worth looking into. If it is an eye cap, just leave it be. It will come off next shed.

    Dented eye scales are a sign of dehydration. DO NOT MESS WITH THE EYES!
    Treat for dehydration first, electrolyte soak, then fix your humidity.
