Prescription eyeglasses can be quite expensive, and scratches on the lenses can affect your vision and overall clarity. While it’s always best to consult with an optician or eyeglass professional for major repairs, minor scratches can often be easily removed at home. In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the process of removing scratches from your prescription eyeglass lenses.

What you’ll need

Before you get started, gather the following materials:

  • Mild liquid soap
  • Microfiber cloth or lens cleaning cloth
  • Baking soda or toothpaste
  • Cotton balls or swabs
  • Water

Step-by-step process

Follow these steps to remove scratches from your prescription eyeglass lenses:

  1. Clean the lenses: Begin by washing your lenses with mild liquid soap and water. This will help remove any dirt or debris from the surface.
  2. Create a paste: Mix a small amount of baking soda or toothpaste with water to create a thick paste. Alternatively, you can use a specialized eyeglass scratch remover product.
  3. Apply the paste: Using a cotton ball or swab, gently apply the paste to the scratched area. Be sure to cover the entire scratch and a small surrounding area.
  4. Buff the lens: Using small, circular motions, gently buff the paste onto the lens. Apply light pressure and continue for about one minute.
  5. Rinse and repeat: Rinse the lens thoroughly with water to remove any residue. Inspect the lens for any remaining scratches. If necessary, repeat the process until the scratches are no longer visible.
  6. Clean and dry: Finally, clean the lens again with mild soap and water, then carefully dry it with a microfiber cloth or lens cleaning cloth.

Important considerations

While this method can work for minor scratches, please keep the following points in mind:

  • Do not attempt this method on coated or anti-reflective lenses as it may damage the coatings.
  • If the scratches are deep or affect your vision, it’s best to consult with a professional eyeglass technician or optician.
  • Always be gentle when handling your lenses to avoid further damage.
  • Regularly clean your eyeglasses to minimize the risk of scratches.

By following these steps and taking necessary precautions, you can improve the clarity of your prescription eyeglass lenses and extend their lifespan. However, remember that preventing scratches is always better than trying to remove them later. So, handle your glasses with care and protect them when not in use.

If you’re unsure about the severity of the scratches or need assistance, do not hesitate to visit an eyeglass professional to ensure your lenses receive the appropriate care.
