Mine have built a decent number of very small scratches and they’re getting annoying so I’d like to get rid if at all possible.
I’ve seen various things suggested including:
- lens scratch repair kit (reviews don’t look great on amazon)
- baking soda paste
- non-abrasive toothpaste
- furniture polish (temporarily fills in the scratch from what I can tell)
I’m reluctant to try any of them without some first hand accounts. No lens coating on these so no worries there.
Thank you in advance!
edit: I just want to say thanks very much to everyone. I ended up getting my prescription emailed to me and buying a new pair for €17 (about $19 USD) delivered on a site that one helpful poster linked. Looks like they will take about 3 weeks to get here so I’ll put up with the scratchy ones until they get here.
When they do arrive I will take some pictures and test the various methods I found online then post up what works and what wrecks the lenses.
Stuff like toothpaste is way too coarse for things like this. It isn’t something I have tried as I don’t wear glasses but have you considered trying something like a rubbing compound used during paintwork on cars etc?
It is basically a fine grade liquid sandpaper and is used to buff up the final laquer coat to a good shine.
Pretty sure you can get different grit levels and may require some elbow grease but may be an option worth looking at?
