can scratches on eyeglasses be fixed?

[Skittles]

these are pricey glasses and a couple of tiny scratches are driving me nuts

[GOPisEvil]

1. There's this stuff I've seen on tv commercials...

...don't know if it works though.

Maybe your eyewear store can buff the lenses for you.

3. howdy David

lord, what a week. OK, I will trot them into the eye store tomorrow. :hi:

are eye stores open on Sundays?

[GOPisEvil]

5. I'm sure the big chain outlets are open on Sundays.

:hi: It has been a hell of a week. We'll get through it somehow though.

7. I've seen that same stuff on sale

There's an "as sold on TV" place in our local farmer's market. The stuff goes there for $15 a kit. I don't know if it works, and $15 seems a bit pricey just to find out, but if anyone has experience with it, I'd be interested.

2. There's super-fine abrasive sandpaper that can.

As long as you don't have anti-reflective coatings, etc. on them.

Check with your optometrist or maybe even a high-end photography store.

4. I've heard toothpaste can fix small shallow scratches

cause it grinds down the glass when you rub it in. But there are more "professional" products out there to do the same thing. as long as you don't have some special coating on it.

6. Sadly, when my son's lenses were scratched because his

DUMBASS kindergarten teacher punished him by making him stand outside with his nose against a brick wall, we couldn't salvage the lenses, and I had to buy new lenses.

Maybe your scratches aren't as bad as his. Go to the place where you bought your eyeglasses...maybe they can do something, if they are honest.

9. your son has bad teacher karma

[Maddy McCall]

12. No, sweetie...this is edjication in the deep south.

He hasn't had to memorize a line of Shakespeare yet, but he has been forced to memorize the entire lord's prayer. :-)

10. thanks

I'll try anything!

11. I hate to admit it,

but I'm on a fixed income, and lived 164 miles from the VA hospital where I might have gotten some new ones - so I took some of that CD/DVD scratch repair liquid, squirted it on, buffed it off, and it worked perfectly.

Of course, as the saying goes, YMMV.

13. No.

They'll always be scratched. If you use an abraisive to hide the scratch, you'll alter the lens. Suck it up, get a new lens, and be more careful. Either that, or get used to the scratch.

14. here is the as seen on TV stuff

no idea if it works
