Hi,

I always unravel the shed skin and check that both eyecaps are there - it's quite easy to do if it's moist.

I'm not really sure on telling the difference but possibly a retained eyecap would have a slightly silvery appearance and look differently than the other eye where as a simple dent wouldn't change the colour of the eye at all?

Dont know if this helps you any - possibly if you could get a good picture of it ?
