Mine have built a decent number of very small scratches and they’re getting annoying so I’d like to get rid if at all possible.

I’ve seen various things suggested including:

  • lens scratch repair kit (reviews don’t look great on amazon)
  • baking soda paste
  • non-abrasive toothpaste
  • furniture polish (temporarily fills in the scratch from what I can tell)

I’m reluctant to try any of them without some first hand accounts. No lens coating on these so no worries there.

Thank you in advance!

    That’s because they’re glass lenses. The plastic whatever crap is just another form of planned obsolescence.

      Nope, can confirm 100%, they’re plastic. I just tested the edge with a razor blade, 100% plastic, made before the modern day enshittification and planned obsolescence era.

        Damn. I didn’t think they used plastic back in the day, I assumed it was a modern thing. Well. You know what they say about assume. Thx for the correction.

      I think my eyesight getting progressively worse every year is a bigger contributor to the glasses industry than planned obsolescence 😭

        Are you wearing distance lenses for up close tasks like reading and tapping into Lemmy? There’s evidence that says forcing your eyes to do that through distance lenses speeds up eyesight degradation.
