How To Remove Scratches From Glasses

Unfortunately, there is no magic cure for scratched lenses. Once your glasses are scratched, they are scratched.
Some products are designed to make the scratches look a little less visible — but these are essentially waxy substances that wear off easily, and results are mixed, depending on the location and depth of the scratches.
Also, these products often will smear lenses that have AR coating.
In addition to reflecting light and interfering with vision, scratches can affect the impact resistance of the lenses.
For optimum vision and safety, the best thing to do if you notice significant scratches is to purchase new lenses.
When purchasing, choose lenses that have a durable scratch-resistant coating.
And ask your Optometrist if your purchase includes a hard coating — especially if scratched lenses have been an issue in the past.
