Anyone got any idea how to move scratches from spec lens. My husband used a scourer on his to get paint off?

There is something you could try... it is a CD cleaner and restorer from JML. It comes with a little bottle of liquid that ';fills'; in scratches on CD's so they are playable again. This might well work for his specs as I used it on a pair of sunglasses and they came up a treat.

You can use a superfine wet sandpaper to get deep scratches out. Start with 800 or 1000 and go finer and finer. Then you can go to an automotive store and get a plastic polish and a small buffing pad that you can put in a drill and polish the lens. The easiest thing is call the place you bought them and see if they buff lenses. Many eyeglass stores do.Anyone got any idea how to move scratches from spec lens.

The lenses will need resmoothing and re polishing by an optical engineer. Very expensive, cheaper to buy another pair.
nope, once it's scrathed, that's it. You'll have to get new lenses
I agree with nicole, but afterwards try useing the toothpaste.
He should have gone to Spec Savers! i think once you scratch the lens of glasses they need to be replaced and next time get scratch resistant ones that's what i have had them 3 years and no scratches
I think you will find there is nothing you can do as anything you do could change the lens and thereby make it different to look through.


Try taking them to an optician though - they may be able to offer some help.
You can remove very fine scratches by polishing the lenses with toothpaste. Takes a while but they really smell fresh afterwards.
thats done it then sorry Oh no more expense
There is a substance called jewellers rouge that you could try.


Personally i would try at a jewellers shop to buy some, and then ask the jeweller if he thought it would work. An optician also has machines for polishing, they may do it for you if you ask. Google 'jewellers rouge' you can use it on glass. You can also buy it on line.
Hi





I don't think you can - try the optician to see if they can do it. I tried to take out a small scratch with non-scratching miracle stuff that cleans ceramic hobs - major mistake, I had to get new glasses.
