Removing scratches from glasses can be tricky, and the success depends on the severity of the scratch and the lens material. Important note: these methods are often more effective at reducing the appearance of scratches rather than completely removing them. They also carry the risk of further damaging the lenses.

Here are a few approaches:

  • Baking Soda Paste: This is a common DIY method. Mix baking soda with water to create a thick paste. Gently rub the paste onto the scratched area using a microfiber cloth in a circular motion for a few minutes. Rinse thoroughly and dry. This method can reduce very fine scratches. Use with caution, as it can potentially worsen the scratch. More information can be found at: https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Baking%20Soda%20Paste

  • Toothpaste (Non-Gel): Similar to baking soda, non-gel toothpaste (avoid those with abrasive whitening agents) can be used. Apply a small amount to a microfiber cloth and rub gently onto the scratch. Rinse and dry. This method is also for very light surface scratches.

  • Lens Scratch Fillers/Repair Kits: These products are designed to fill in the scratches and make them less visible. Follow the instructions carefully. These fillers often create a temporary solution and need reapplication. More information on this type of products: https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Lens%20Scratch%20Filler

  • Professional Lens Polishing: Opticians may be able to polish the lenses to remove or reduce the appearance of scratches, but this thins the lenses and may alter the prescription. This is best for minor scratches. Check out: https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Professional%20Lens%20Polishing

  • Replacement: For significant scratches, the most effective solution is often to replace the lenses altogether. If the scratches interfere with your vision, this is the best and safest option. In some cases, new glasses are needed, information about it: https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Glasses%20Replacement

Important Considerations:

  • Lens Coatings: Be aware that any of these methods can damage or remove lens coatings, such as anti-reflective or scratch-resistant coatings.
  • Lens Material: Some lens materials are more susceptible to damage from these methods than others. Test on an inconspicuous area first if possible.
  • Risk: There is always a risk of making the scratches worse. If you're unsure, consult with an optician. Always start with the least abrasive method. Be sure to use https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Microfiber%20Cloth when applying anything to the lenses.
