Hack 1: Using Baking Soda Paste for Light Scratches
Baking soda is a mild abrasive that can be used to buff out light scratches on eyeglass lenses. To use this method, mix one part baking soda with one part water to form a thick paste. Apply the paste to the scratched area using a soft, lint-free cloth, and gently rub in a circular motion. Rinse with water and dry with a clean microfiber cloth. This method is effective for minor scratches and is safe for most lens types.
Hack 2: Toothpaste as a Quick Fix for Minor Scratches
Non-gel, non-abrasive toothpaste can serve as a quick fix for minor scratches. Apply a small amount of toothpaste to a cotton ball or soft cloth and gently rub it onto the scratched area in circular motions. After a few minutes, rinse the lenses with water and dry them with a microfiber cloth. This method works best on plastic lenses and should be used sparingly to avoid further damage.
Hack 3: Applying Car Wax for a Polished Finish
Car wax can be used to fill in scratches and provide a polished finish to your lenses. Apply a small amount of car wax to a soft cloth and gently rub it onto the lenses in a circular motion. Buff the lenses with a clean cloth until they are clear. This method is particularly useful for polycarbonate lenses and can help restore their clarity.
