Scratched glasses can be annoying, but most scratches cannot truly be removed \u2014 only reduced. DIY methods may lessen their appearance, but they can also damage protective coatings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A baking soda paste is one option. Mix baking soda with a few drops of distilled water to create a thin paste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gently rub it on the scratch for 10\u201315 seconds, then rinse and dry. This may help light scratches on uncoated lenses. Avoid coated lenses, as it can strip protective layers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plain, non-gel toothpaste is another suggestion. Apply a small amount and rub gently for no more than 10 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, \u201cmost modern toothpastes contain abrasive ingredients that can worsen damage,\u201d so use this only on old or backup glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Car wax or scratch fillers may reduce glare by filling fine marks but won\u2019t remove scratches. Avoid harsh products like metal polish, which can permanently cloud lenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If scratches affect your vision, see an optician. Often, replacement lenses are safest. Prevention is best: use microfiber cloths and store glasses in a hard case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
