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!
edit: I just want to say thanks very much to everyone. I ended up getting my prescription emailed to me and buying a new pair for €17 (about $19 USD) delivered on a site that one helpful poster linked. Looks like they will take about 3 weeks to get here so I’ll put up with the scratchy ones until they get here.
When they do arrive I will take some pictures and test the various methods I found online then post up what works and what wrecks the lenses.
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.
…well that’s just great, I wish someone had told me this before my eyesight was at -6.00
My prescription is -4.75 left, -4.5 right, and about 15⁰ astigmatism.
Now I’m wearing bifocals made before my first prescription, and these glasses just work.
Myopia. Nearsightedness. Can’t see a pile of horse shit in front of your feet sorta blind.
Glasses are awesome though, ugly or not…
