How can I fix scratched eyeglasses?

Answer by  HawaiianGirl (6906)

If the scratch does not really alter your vision in any way, and it doesn't bother you much, you can probably just leave it be. Otherwise, you may have to replace the lens.

Without taking the glasses to a professional or replacing them all together, there isn't a lot you can do. If the scratch is small and is not affecting your sight, you should just ignore it. If it is affecting your sight, you should probably get the lens replaced.

You can go to the eye doctor and they have a special chemical in which they apply to the lens and buff the scratch out if it is small enough. If not, a new lens may be offered.

You won't be able to fix this yourself, but your optician may be able to polish or recoat the surface of your glasses to remove the scratch.

I would rub the surface of your glasses with fingernails as a temporary fix. what this does is when your fingernail reaches the scratch, it both erodes the sides of the scratch, making it less noticeable, and fills in any deep spots with your fingernail, which makes it less visible.

I would use liquid lenses on light scratches. Anything else seems a bit overkill as liquid lenses has worked for me in the past. If I would recommend anything for a light lens scratch it would be liquid lenses as well. I, however, have never come across another liquid lens user.

Buffing the glasses is probably the easiest way, however, they make filling substances, that fill scratches. It is said by some that toothpaste works for this, applying a little, then buffing it out.

I've used a cerium oxide paste to polish out a scratch on a car windshield. It should work on eye glasses or a visor. But if the scratch or pit is too deep. you'll need to use a more abrasive grit.
