Mine have built a decent number of very small scratches and they’re getting annoying so I’d like to get rid if at all possible.

I’ve seen various things suggested including:

  • lens scratch repair kit (reviews don’t look great on amazon)
  • baking soda paste
  • non-abrasive toothpaste
  • furniture polish (temporarily fills in the scratch from what I can tell)

I’m reluctant to try any of them without some first hand accounts. No lens coating on these so no worries there.

Thank you in advance!

edit: I just want to say thanks very much to everyone. I ended up getting my prescription emailed to me and buying a new pair for €17 (about $19 USD) delivered on a site that one helpful poster linked. Looks like they will take about 3 weeks to get here so I’ll put up with the scratchy ones until they get here.

When they do arrive I will take some pictures and test the various methods I found online then post up what works and what wrecks the lenses.

    Thanks. Just had a look and that is incredibly cheap. They also do free standard shipping to my country so I will seriously consider this.

      Zenni optical is another affordable online option! Or eye buy direct. I’ve only used Zenni, but all of my glasses since like 2011 have come from them and I’ve had 0 issues!

        Ah! I knew there was a place someone had mentioned to me before that they were happy with and couldn’t remember the name. It was Zenni. I ended up buying from that site linked above for very cheap and I’m going to do some experimenting with these scratched ones when the new ones get here.
