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!

    Lol. Bullshit to quality plastic lenses last that long. I mean sure, if you never drop them and baby the heck out of them.

    The hardest clear plastic isn’t remotely close to being as hard as glass or sapphire.

    As for the shatter thing, often glass lenses will have a plastic layer on the eyes side of the lenses that prevents shards. This does mean that the inside of your glasses will scratch easier than the outside, but the outside is what always gets abuse.
