How to Repair Scratches on Glasses?

Scratches on glasses are more than just annoyances, as they not only distort vision but also diminish the quality of your eyewear.

● Eye Strain: When the lenses are scratched, the eyes need to have to adjust and readjust constantly which leads to eye strain and, in some cases, headaches.

● Weakened Frames: Scratches on the frame of the glasses are hazardous since they actually cause the glasses not to seem as hardy as they actually are and thus more likely to break.

This can be by washing it with a little water on this as you clean the lenses with a micro fiber cloth.

Rinse with around movements using the tooth paste, soft cloth for washing and water on the stain. Wash the remnants with water and then, using an article manufactured from microfiber fabrics, wipe the surface.

● Car Wax: If the scratches are deeper, then probably car wax or lens polish should be used to get the best results. Add a thin layer of wax at the scratched area and then rotate a soft cloth in circular motion over the area. You should be careful when wiping out wax that is left behind from it, using a clean piece of material discard any remaining wax.

● Over-the-Counter Kits: Currently the market offers a wide variety of scratch removal kits. These kits if often consist of tools and compounds that aid the process of scratch removal to a very large extent.
