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.
If they’re scratches in the actual lens I’d be skeptical of buffing them out, but if you’re talking about that premium anti-glare coating, I’ve used a Dremel and the soft and fluffy polish applicator with some car wax and water to strip all of it away. Feather lightly, many passes, use water to keep the pad from getting dry and hot, royal pita. Car wax was just the straight carnauba stuff, not anything meant for fixing automotive paint, just something to keep the friction down
