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.

      Just wanted to come back and say thanks. I emailed my optician for my prescription and bought a pair of glasses off this site for €17 delivered (about $19 USD). Do you mind me asking how long yours took to arrive? I’m in one of the “standard delivery” countries.

        If I remember right, it was just over 2 weeks; but it’s been a couple years since I ordered.

        I’ve ordered my last 2 sets from there, and had at least 3 family members ordering from there too. We’ve never had any issues aside from one poorly fitting set, which they returned and got fresh ones free of charge. I really couldn’t be happier with goggles4u.

        I’ve really got to get around to seeing the optometrist and getting a fresh prescription… Time flies.

          You will not believe this but when I emailed for my prescription earlier I was told I’m well overdue (2021 was my last test) and I said “time flies”. She took the time to write “OUT OF DATE” twice on the scan.

          Thanks for the timeline.

      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.
