Most modern prescription lenses have protective coatings for glare reduction, UV protection, scratch resistance, or blue-light filtering. Abrasive substances can damage those coatings and leave the lenses cloudy or covered with even more fine scratches.<\/p>\n<p>A true scratch means material has physically been removed from the lens surface. You generally can\u2019t simply \u201cwipe\u201d that missing material back into place. Some DIY methods appear to work temporarily because they polish or fill tiny surface imperfections, but the result may distort vision or damage the lens coating. Toothpaste is especially risky because many formulas contain abrasive particles designed to scrub teeth, not delicate optical lenses.<br \/>\n        <div class=\"rmwr-wrapper\"\r\n             data-id=\"rmwr-p1199-1\"\r\n                          data-key=\"p1199-1\"\r\n                          data-post=\"1199\"\r\n                          data-animation=\"none\"\r\n                          data-duration=\"300\"\r\n                          data-mode=\"normal\"\r\n                          data-lazy=\"false\"\r\n                          data-smooth-scroll=\"true\"\r\n                          data-scroll-offset=\"0\"\r\n             >\r\n            <button\r\n                type=\"button\"\r\n                class=\"read-link \"\r\n                id=\"readlinkrmwr-p1199-1\"\r\n                data-open-text=\"Read More\"\r\n                data-close-text=\"Read Less\"\r\n                                aria-expanded=\"false\"\r\n                aria-controls=\"readrmwr-p1199-1\"\r\n            >\r\n                                <span class=\"rmwr-text\">Read More<\/span>\r\n            <\/button>\r\n            <div\r\n                class=\"read_div\"\r\n                id=\"readrmwr-p1199-1\"\r\n                aria-hidden=\"true\"\r\n                style=\"display: none;\"\r\n            >\r\n                                    <br \/>\nFor minor marks, start by washing the glasses with lukewarm water and a tiny drop of mild dish soap. Dry them using a clean microfiber cloth. Sometimes what looks like scratching is actually dried residue, grease, or buildup. Avoid paper towels, clothing, and tissues, which can create additional fine scratches over time.<\/p>\n<p>If the scratch is still visible and interferes with your vision, the safest option is to take the glasses to an optician. In many cases, badly scratched prescription lenses need to be replaced rather than repaired.<\/p>\n<p>So before rubbing toothpaste or baking soda across expensive glasses, think twice.<\/p>\n<p>Cleaning can remove residue, but genuine scratches usually can\u2019t be safely erased with a household trick.                                                        <\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n        <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Those viral tricks claiming toothpaste, baking soda, or household polish can magically remove scratches from eyeglasses sound convenient, but they can actually make the problem worse.
