Make a paste of baking soda and water, then gently rub it on the lenses using a soft, clean cloth.
Rinse thoroughly and dry. While this can help with stubborn stains, it won’t remove deep scratches and should be used cautiously on coated lenses.
6. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Don’t use household cleaners like ammonia, bleach, or vinegar on your glasses. These can damage coatings and make scratches more noticeable.
7. Use Toothpaste for Light Scratches (Optional)
A non-abrasive, non-gel toothpaste can sometimes reduce the appearance of small scratches.
Apply a small amount with a cotton swab, rub gently in a circular motion, and rinse thoroughly. Use this method sparingly and only if the lenses don’t have anti-reflective coatings.
8. Invest in an Anti-Scratch Coating
If your current lenses are prone to scratches, consider upgrading to lenses with an anti-scratch coating. This will help prevent new scratches from forming.
9. Store Glasses in a Protective Case
