    Care for Retained Eye Caps?

    Alrighty, so to begin I just got my girl back from the vet today. Her eyes were looking really bad after her shed. She has stuck eye caps, which isn't a surprise because she's had stubborn eye caps since she was a baby. My vet said to get artificial tears, use them 3 times a day for a month, make sure she has her shed box, and to soak her as well. He didn't tell me how long or how often though.

    Questions:
    How often should I soak her?
    How long should I soak her for?
    Should I attempt to remove them, and if yes, how far along should I attempt?

    She's been doing so well, and now her eyes look terrible. The worse I've seen.

    Bad Eye:


    Thank you so much for your time and help. I really want to help her out. Just a note, she acts normal, energy is the same, and appetite and feeding is the exact same. It's just her eyes that look horrible. Any help and tips are greatly appreciated. I really love my snakes and just want them to be comfortable.
