I don't feel confident in doing that. I'd probably end up blinding her. I also really don't trust my vet - when she had her first shed with me it was awful and stuck everywhere, so I took her in to have him remove her stuck eye caps and he told me that she had shed them when she really hadn't, they were clearly retained and one ended up coming off on its own later that week. So... I need to find someone new!

What I usually do when I have snakes with retained eye caps is give my snake a bath in a rubbermaid container with paper towel in the container to help raise humidity (so I've heard) for about 30 minutes and the get a piece of scotch tape wrapped around my index and middle finger and just lightly roll it over the eye cap. It may take a few trys but as long as they've been in the water long enough it should work.

Definitely intentional scratching/rubbing as she's aiming for the same spot every time.

Could that not be a retained eye-cap and actually a sign of dehydration?? Not for sure but since you say you saw two spectacles on the last shed makes me think it is not a retained cap...
