The best results I have had with retained eyecaps is to just wait for the next shed and then work on the eyecap at that time. It is much easier to get it off then. Doing it when it has dried on runs the risk of damaging the tissues around the eyeball and possibly getting an infection. Tape will definitely work at that time with ease. Tweezers are tough when the snake is trying to jerk away from you and you could easily punture the eye.
