I remember the day I sat down at the optometrist’s table to order that particular pair of eyeglasses. I got every bell and whistle on those lenses except for what turned out to be the most important one–the scratch-resistant coating. Oops. I soon discovered that even what seemed to be the softest, safest cloth for wiping them might as well have been sandpaper. Though you can’t remove scratches like that, you can improve them in a Frugular way. Take a small amount of furniture polish (any brand will do) and apply it to each scratch–or, in my case, the entirety of both lenses. Rub the polish in with a lens-safe cloth and repeat as necessary, maybe after every other thorough eyeglass cleaning. Your scratches will be far less noticeable, and as long as your prescription holds, you can get years more wear out of your specs.
