For Those With Scratched Glasses Lens Repair Is Vital

By Eula Nichols


Imagine the horror when the realization strikes that there are several scratches on your new pair of prescription glasses. They are your favorites, and have hardly been used! What to do? Scratched glasses lens repair, is the first thought that enters your mind.

Depending on your type of lenses, there will definitely be a professional way to erase the scratches without a trace. Depending on how long you have had them for, there will be a cost involved. This however might be less than if you were to try a home remedy which could negate the warranty or ruins them completely.

Many a self proclaimed expert will give your their advise as to how easy it is to repair your lenses at almost no cost whatsoever. However, you are still hesitant to take that chance. Fear, holds you back from experimenting with the numerous chemicals advised. You might not even be familiar with the products you have been advised to purchase.

The chemicals suggested by others and on the internet seem to have merit in their function, but then why not just try one out? You have been instructed to thoroughly clean the lenses with warm soapy water to dispel all debris or oils, and then to add the desired chemical whilst carefully and gently buffing the lenses in a circular motion. This however, sounds too easy and too good to be true.

Another consideration is to be able to take the lenses out of their frame, so as to not damage, twist or discolor the frame whilst repairing the scratches. This requires a very unique type of screw driver which will correctly fit with the screws on your frame. Also, be gentle when tightening or loosening the screw, you don't want to strip the head of the screw and have to go back to the shop where you bought them from anyway, as this can turn out to be an expensive adventure.

This simply won't do. The lenses were far too expensive to be experimenting on. The next logical solution is to find remedies on the web for your dilemma. Yes, there certainly are a number of solutions one could try. There are even videos explaining the procedure, step by step, and somehow it all seems quite simple.

Plastic lenses seem to scratch a lot easier than glass ones. The coating on the lenses may prove to be a problem too. The scratches might be on the coating only, but this is not a bonus as the coating will then be damaged if the scratch is to be buffed in one specific area. All of these pros and cons should be weighed up with the costs involved, before you make a decision on your plan of action.

Finally, you make a decision you think is the best one for you. You will return them to the store you purchased them from, and let the professionals deal with the ugly dilemma. Scratched glasses lens repair, now has become stress free and you are confident that it will all be sorted out properly the first time. Even if there is a cost involved, it surely won't match the cost that could be incurred by a botched job and just that saving is worth it.
