Checking for an index before dropping it

I would like to check for an index before dropping it. If the index doesn't exist and I try to drop it, Oracle gives me an error message.
I would like to suppress that error message, by checking beforehand, if the index on the table exists.

How can I accomplish this, using
SQL *Plus or TOAD?

Thanks.
