Tired of scratches on your eyeglasses? Here are 10 cool ways to remove them for good
Rubbing alcohol combined with a gentle abrasive, like baking soda or a microfiber rag, will clean your lenses while buffing out small scratches.
6. Buff the scratch out with toothpaste
You’ll need regular toothpaste (no gel, no whitening, no extra mintiness) and a cotton ball for this trick. Apply a dab of the toothpaste on the cotton and massage the scratched lens for about 10 seconds. Rinse and repeat as needed.
7. Soap and water
When all else fails, a simple solution of soap and water with a microfiber cloth might be enough to do the trick. Try adding baking soda for a bit of texture that won’t further damage your lens.
8. Brass polish
Brass polish may help remove shallow scratches and stuck-on debris. Just make sure that any product you use on your lenses does not contain acetone.
9. Car wax
Rub a little car wax on your lenses and gently scrub with a soft cloth to remove shallow scratches. You might need to wash with water afterward, Glasses Crafter recommends.
10. Buy a scratch kit
If none of these solutions work, you can purchase a scratch repair kit from your eye doctor. The kit temporarily fills the scratch on your lens. You might need to redo the treatment several times before you get your next pair of glasses.
