If you’re asking whether this viral tip is true: be careful. Most household “scratch removers” don’t actually make scratches disappear—they may temporarily make them less visible while potentially damaging the lens coating.
For eyeglasses, avoid toothpaste, baking soda, abrasive powders, or polishing compounds, especially on anti-reflective or coated lenses.
-
Tiny surface marks: an optician may be able to advise whether the coating can be repaired.
-
Deep scratches: they generally can’t be safely removed; replacing the lenses is usually the proper solution.
-
Plastic/screen lenses: different materials require different treatment.
If you tell me what kind of glasses you mean (eyeglasses, sunglasses, car windshield, phone screen, etc.), I can tell you what is safe to try.
