For Those With Scratched Glasses Lens Repair Is Vital

By Eula Nichols


Scratched glasses lens repair, is a tricky dilemma. One is never sure which path to follow. Should you take the path of paying for a professional to handle the job? Or should you attempt to repair your lenses yourself?

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.

Who knew that such a small scratch can cause such discomfort? Not only is this a disaster, but the cost involved to repair them will probably be even worse. All lenses are not the same and are made of different materials. This is a choice that was carefully explained to you whilst you were making the important choice for new lenses. You painstakingly listened to every word, and finally came upon a decision which felt just right.

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.

These are all questions which you have to ask yourself. Do a little research on the internet and ask friends too, now you can make a more educated decision as to whether you should try rid the lenses of their scratches yourself, or whether you should let the professionals deal with it. It may be a difficult one, but then and only then can you take responsibility for your ultimate decision.

Scratched glasses lens repair is definitely a cheaper option than buying brand new lenses. Scratches can be hindering to your vision and need to be erased for the glasses to be of optimal benefit. So, no matter what you have decided to do, and how you will do it, those scratches must definitely go.
