Scratches on your glasses can be frustrating. They blur your vision, make your lenses look old, and are often expensive to fix at the optician. But here’s the good news: with just one simple trick using items you already have at home, you can make those scratches look far less noticeable — sometimes almost invisible!
Why This Works
Tiny scratches on lenses scatter light. By gently filling or polishing them with natural household ingredients, you can smooth out the surface and reduce how visible they appear.
The Trick: Baking Soda Paste
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- A few drops of water
Instructions:
- Mix the baking soda with water to form a thick paste.
- Apply the paste onto the scratched area of your glasses using a soft cotton cloth.
- Rub gently in small circular motions for 20–30 seconds.
- Rinse thoroughly with cool water and dry with a clean microfiber cloth.
The fine texture of baking soda helps polish the surface, making scratches less visible without damaging the lenses.
Extra Option: Toothpaste Method
If you don’t have baking soda, use non-gel, non-abrasive white toothpaste. Apply a pea-sized amount and rub gently for 30 seconds before rinsing.
Important Notes
- This works best for light surface scratches. Deep scratches may require professional repair or replacement.
- Always use a soft microfiber cloth, not tissue or paper towels, which can cause more scratches.
- Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage lens coatings.
Clearer Vision, Instantly
With just a minute of effort, you can make your glasses look newer and see more clearly — no costly repairs required. Try this simple home trick and enjoy lenses that look almost scratch-free again!
