1. Use toothpaste to wipe scratches

Squeeze a small amount of toothpaste onto a fine cotton cloth, then rub it on the scratched lens. It is best to rub in the same direction and be sure not to make circles when rubbing. It is best to use medium to heavy force. Too light force will not repair the scratches. The wiping frequency can also be increased. After 3 minutes, wipe the lens with clean water.

2. Soap scratches

Soap can fill in scratches, so you can first wet the lenses of the sunglasses with cold water, then rub some soap on your fingers, and gently apply the soap on the lenses. The soap bubbles on the lenses can be wiped off with a soft paper towel or a special glasses cloth. This can not only effectively remove scratches on the sunglasses, but also make the lenses brighter.

3. Wipe scratches with solution

CD and DVD cleaning solutions can also help remove scratches from sunglass lenses, but you should follow the instructions when using these solutions. In addition, anti-fouling sprays can also be used to remove scratches on lenses.

4. Use a marker to erase scratches

Scratches on sunglass lenses can also be removed using special white markers such as chalk, but this method is only suitable for cases where the scratches are relatively small. The scratched part of the lens will enter the material of the marker, thus filling the tiny gap. You can then choose to polish the surface of the lens with a soft cloth, so that the lens will look new.

5. Are darker sunglasses better?

Sunglasses are one of the essential sun protection products for people when traveling. Many people believe that the darker the color of the lens, the more it can prevent ultraviolet rays from damaging the eyes. Experts say that the darker the color of sunglasses, the better. On the contrary, lenses that are too dark may cause damage to the eyes. Whether the lens can block ultraviolet rays has nothing to do with the color of the lens, but is determined by the UV (ultraviolet) standard of the lens. For example, UV400 lenses can block 100% of ultraviolet rays, and UV100 lenses can block 96% to 98% of ultraviolet rays. Even if it can block ultraviolet rays, it is not advisable to choose sunglasses with too dark colors. Too dark color of the lenses will seriously affect visibility and the eyes will easily be damaged due to the difficulty in seeing things. The lenses of sunglasses should be able to pass 30% of light, with gray or green being the best.
