Furniture Polish
Furniture polish can fill in minor scratches. Apply a small amount on a soft cloth and rub it gently over the lens, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.


Petroleum Jelly
Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly over the scratch and gently rub it in. This can temporarily fill in and make the scratches less noticeable.


Metal Polish (like Silver Polish)
Use a small amount of non-abrasive metal polish on a soft cloth to gently buff out scratches. Be cautious as some metal polishes can be too abrasive for delicate lens surfaces.


Banana Peel
Rub the inside of a banana peel on the lens in a circular motion. The natural oils and mild abrasive quality of the peel can help reduce the appearance of scratches.


Pencil Eraser
Gently rub a clean pencil eraser over the scratch. The rubber can sometimes buff out light scratches without damaging the lens.


Almond Oil
Apply a small amount of almond oil over the scratches. The oil can help fill in the scratches and improve the clarity of the lens.


Lemon Juice with Egg White
Mix lemon juice with egg white and apply it to the lens. The acidic and protein-rich mixture can help in reducing the visibility of scratches.


Cream of Tartar
Make a paste with cream of tartar and water. Apply it to the lens, gently rub, and then rinse off. This can help in minimizing scratches.


Coconut Oil
Rub a small amount of coconut oil on the scratches. The oil fills in the scratches and makes them less visible.


Toothpaste with Baking Soda
Mix toothpaste with baking soda to create a gentle abrasive paste. Apply it to the lens and rub gently to reduce scratch visibility.


Ash (like from cigarettes or a fireplace)
Mix a small amount of ash with water to create a paste. This mildly abrasive paste can be used to buff out superficial scratches.


Hydrogen Peroxide
Apply a small amount of hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball and gently rub it over the scratch. It can act as a mild bleaching agent to reduce the appearance of scratches.


Nail Polish Remover (non-acetone based)
Dab a small amount of non-acetone nail polish remover on a cotton swab and gently apply it to the scratch. This can sometimes help in reducing the scratch visibility.


Saltwater Soak
Dissolve salt in water and soak the glasses in the solution. The saltwater can help in gently smoothing out the scratches.


Olive Oil
Apply a bit of olive oil on the scratch and buff gently. The oil can fill in the scratches, making them less noticeable.


Talcum Powder
Make a paste with talcum powder and water. Apply this to the lens and gently rub to reduce the appearance of scratches.


Wax-based Furniture Cleaner
Apply a small amount of wax-based furniture cleaner on a soft cloth and gently rub it over the lens. The wax can fill in the scratches and improve lens clarity.
