Prescription eyeglasses are an essential tool for those with impaired vision. Over time, however, the lenses can become scratched, affecting your vision and overall wearing experience. Cleaning scratched prescription eyeglass lenses requires special care to avoid further damage. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the appropriate methods to clean your lenses effectively.

What you’ll need:

  • A clean, lint-free microfiber cloth
  • Eyeglass lens cleaner solution
  • A small bowl of warm water
  • Mild liquid soap
  • A soft-bristled toothbrush (optional)

Step 1: Rinse the lenses

Start by rinsing your scratched prescription eyeglass lenses under lukewarm water. This helps remove any loose particles or dirt that could potentially scratch the lens surface during cleaning.

Step 2: Apply liquid soap

Apply a small drop of mild liquid soap to your fingertips and gently rub it onto both sides of the lenses. Ensure that you cover the entire lens surface and pay extra attention to the scratched areas. The soap will help loosen any stubborn dirt or debris.

Step 3: Rinse again

Thoroughly rinse the lenses under lukewarm water to remove the soap residue. Be gentle to avoid applying too much pressure on the scratched areas.

Step 4: Apply lens cleaner solution

Using a lens cleaner solution specifically designed for eyeglasses, apply a few sprays onto both sides of the lenses. Avoid using glass cleaners or other household cleaners as they may contain chemicals that could further damage the lenses.

Step 5: Wipe with a microfiber cloth

Using a clean, lint-free microfiber cloth, gently wipe the lenses starting from the center and moving outward in a circular motion. Repeat this process for both sides of the lenses. The microfiber cloth is gentle and won’t leave any scratches on the lens surface.

Step 6 (Optional): Use a toothbrush for stubborn dirt

If you encounter stubborn dirt or debris in the scratched areas, you can use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently brush them away. Ensure the toothbrush is clean and dry before using it on your lenses.

Step 7: Dry the lenses

Once you have cleaned both sides of the lenses, use a clean portion of the microfiber cloth to dry them. Pat lightly to avoid inadvertently scratching the lenses.

Step 8: Inspect for any remaining scratches

After cleaning, carefully inspect the lenses for any remaining scratches. If there are still visible scratches affecting your vision, it may be time to consult your optician for further advice or consider replacing the lenses.

By following these step-by-step instructions, you can effectively clean your scratched prescription eyeglass lenses without causing further damage. Remember to handle your eyeglasses with care and avoid using harsh cleaning agents to extend the lifespan of your lenses.
