Hi,
Trust me the only time retained eyecaps are urgent is if an infection has set in between them or if enough layers have built up to cause problems for the eye underneath - and that really doesn't happen too often.
Using tape is just too much of a risk for me - always will be I suspect.
If you notice that the eyecaps aren't seperating and you are pulling the protective scale off the eye that is meant to be there how exactly do you tell the tape to let go?
You did see this thread recently didn't you?
