How to repair scratches on glasses

Myopic friends who often wear glasses should be aware that glasses are easily scratched and various scratches are very likely to appear on them. Although such small scratches will not affect the degree of the glasses and will not make much difference when seeing things, if there are too many scratches, it will affect the clarity of the glasses. So how to repair and maintain glasses with scratches? Here are some tips for you.

Clean your glasses frequently with mild soap and water. Dirt in the gaps between the frames is not only unsightly, but long-term accumulation can further damage the lenses. Protecting polyester lenses with a special cleaner or specific oil can also make it easier to remove scratches later.

Use a special white marker like chalk to outline the scratches. The material from the marker will get into the scratches and fill in the tiny gaps. Polishing the surface with a soft cloth can make them look like new. This method is especially useful for smaller scratches.

You can put a little toothpaste on a fine cotton cloth, and then wipe the scratched area of ​​the lens in the same direction. Do not make circles while wiping. Also, when wiping, you should use medium to heavy force. If the force is too light, it will not have much effect. At the same time, the frequency of wiping can be slightly faster. After 3 minutes, you can wipe it with clean water.

Follow package directions for applying CD and DVD cleaning solutions. You can also spray the solution and wipe off the excess. These products can remove larger scratches on digital discs and are also effective on eyeglass lenses. Also, try an anti-stain spray.

Polish the scratches with a soft cloth. But avoid using fabrics that are too stiff, as this will aggravate the scratches.

Take your glasses to an optical shop that provides professional repair services. If the scratch is too large or too obvious, there is nothing anyone can do to fix it. Only a professional can determine whether the lenses need to be replaced.
