🤓 Tired of Scratches on Your Eyeglasses? 10 Hacks to Remove Them for Good
If you wear glasses, you know how frustrating it is to deal with scratches. Even the tiniest mark can blur your vision, catch the light at the wrong angle, or become a constant distraction. Whether you accidentally dropped them, cleaned them with the wrong cloth, or tossed them into your bag unprotected, scratches happen to the best of us.
The good news? You don’t always need a costly replacement or professional repair. With a few everyday household items, you can minimize or even remove scratches from your lenses at home.
Here are 10 tried-and-true hacks to help restore your eyeglasses and keep them looking crystal-clear.
🧼 1. Baking Soda Paste
Baking soda is mildly abrasive and works well for buffing out small scratches.
How to use:
- Mix 1 tbsp of baking soda with 1 tsp of water to form a thick paste.
- Gently rub it onto the lens using a soft, circular motion with a microfiber cloth.
- Rinse with cold water and dry.
Note: Only use this on plastic lenses without special coatings.
🪒 2. Non-Abrasive Toothpaste
A plain white, non-gel toothpaste can help polish out light surface scratches.
How to use:
- Apply a dab of toothpaste to the scratched area.
- Buff in a circular motion with a cotton ball or microfiber cloth.
- Rinse and dry thoroughly.
🍌 3. Banana Peel Trick
It may sound odd, but banana peels contain potassium and natural waxes that can help reduce light marks.
How to use:
- Rub the inside of a banana peel over the scratched lens.
- Polish with a clean microfiber cloth.
🧴 4. Car Wax or Furniture Polish
Both can fill in minor scratches and create a smooth finish.
How to use:
- Apply a small amount of car wax or polish to the lens.
- Buff gently and thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Wipe off any excess residue.
🧪 5. Rubbing Alcohol + Baking Soda
This combo offers both cleaning and scratch-filling benefits.
How to use:
- Mix equal parts rubbing alcohol and baking soda into a paste.
- Gently rub onto lenses in a circular motion.
- Rinse and wipe dry.
⚠️ 6. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Products with ammonia (like glass cleaner) can damage lens coatings and worsen scratches.
Instead: Use lens-specific cleaners or mild dish soap and warm water.
🧊 7. Toothpaste-Free Polish (DIY Lens Polish)
For coated lenses, use a polish made for polycarbonate or anti-reflective coatings.
Where to find: Optical stores or online retailers often sell
