By Eula Nichols


Imagine the horror when the realization strikes that there are several scratches on your new pair of prescription glasses. They are your favorites, and have hardly been used! What to do? Scratched glasses lens repair, is the first thought that enters your mind.

Depending on your type of lenses, there will definitely be a professional way to erase the scratches without a trace. Depending on how long you have had them for, there will be a cost involved. This however might be less than if you were to try a home remedy which could negate the warranty or ruins them completely.

Many a self proclaimed expert will give your their advise as to how easy it is to repair your lenses at almost no cost whatsoever. However, you are still hesitant to take that chance. Fear, holds you back from experimenting with the numerous chemicals advised. You might not even be familiar with the products you have been advised to purchase.

Some lenses may be of glass, some of polycarbonate and so forth, not to mention the special added extras which you have to coat them with. Coatings with names as long as your arm and just as confusing! Now how are you going to decide which is the right way to deal with those unsightly scratches, on your unique type of lenses?

Another consideration is to be able to take the lenses out of their frame, so as to not damage, twist or discolor the frame whilst repairing the scratches. This requires a very unique type of screw driver which will correctly fit with the screws on your frame. Also, be gentle when tightening or loosening the screw, you don't want to strip the head of the screw and have to go back to the shop where you bought them from anyway, as this can turn out to be an expensive adventure.

Most lenses are coated in an anti-glare finish and you are unsure as to how your actions might affect this coating. Also, even though the scratch might not be easy to see once you have vigorously buffed it, is it still there, will it resurface after the wax has worn off? Will the vision be as accurate once you have tampered with the shape of the lens?

It all looks extremely convincing. Why then are you not yet convinced? It could be the sheer terror that you might ruin the lenses, and have to pay the entire amount again from scratch, or that you don't want to deal with the embarrassment of explaining how the lenses were ruined. All you want is for the glasses to be as good as new and for the lenses to be as crisp and clear as the day you bought them.

Scratched glasses lens repair is definitely a cheaper option than buying brand new lenses. Scratches can be hindering to your vision and need to be erased for the glasses to be of optimal benefit. So, no matter what you have decided to do, and how you will do it, those scratches must definitely go.
