How to remove scratches from glasses and restore their new, shiny appearance: a simple recipe

 

Rather than replacing scratched glasses, it's often more economical to repair them. This saves you money in the long run by avoiding the need to frequently buy new glasses.

In this article, we explain how to remove scratches
from your glasses to keep them in good condition.
Ingredients for removing scratches from glasses
: Warm water: Warm water is gentle enough to not damage the lenses or their coatings, yet it effectively removes dirt and deposits.
Natural detergent: Choose a mild, dye-free detergent, as neutral detergents don't damage lens coatings and effectively remove oily stains.
Microfiber cloth: Use a high-quality microfiber cloth to dry and polish your lenses. Avoid rough cloths like paper towels, which can scratch them.

Procedure:
Start by thoroughly washing your hands to remove any dirt that may have accumulated on the lenses during cleaning.
Then, rinse the glasses under lukewarm water to loosen any dust particles and make the next step easier.
Apply a small amount of mild detergent to your fingertip and gently wipe the lenses, frame, and temples. Avoid using regular soap, as it may contain harsh chemicals that can damage the lenses.
Rinse the lenses thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove all traces of detergent. Then, dry the lenses and frame with a microfiber cloth, rubbing gently. The microfiber will absorb moisture and prevent scratching. Use
the same cloth to gently polish the lenses until completely dry and shiny to remove any remaining marks, scratches, or smudges.
Additional tips:
Avoid excessive heat, such as a hairdryer or flame, as this can damage the lens coating and deepen the scratches.
If the scratches are deep or none of the above methods work, you may need to take your glasses to a specialist for repair or replacement of the lenses.
