Hi, I have a pair of eyeglasses with scratched lenses (I think they are a type of plastic). Do you think this will work to repair scratched lenses?

I have heard that this product will repair some scratches to eyeglasses if they are not too deep. I have scratches in my own glasses but have never worked up the nerve to try it considering what I paid for the glasses. Sorry I couldn't be for more help.

I'm not sure about glasses. I used it for an acrylic fish tank. But what I do know is, if the scratches are deep it required sanding with sandpaper first. If sanding is required then you want to work up to a really fine grit paper (minimum of 2000 grit). if you think the lenses are plastic then it should work. Or if the glasses are ruined it's a fairly cheap way to try to save them. I've been really impressed with the product and on plastic it does work well just not for deep scratches like they say stage 3 is for. I've also used it to restore headlights and worked great!

Most glasses have an anti-reflective coating which is easily scratched. This is most often what is scratched on your glasses. A product like this will not repair that. Ask your optician!

no! I had problem like this, but Novus didn't resolve repairing lens scratces. But Novus N1 perfect for shining.

I would not risk that if I were you. They are not recommended for eyes glasses. This is especially true since you would not want any residual material from this near your eyes or nose (vapors). It is minor if you clean them well afterwards.

The scratch remover works great and the polish does too. But it's designed for acrylic. So I don't know if will work on regular plastic. It might work but if it doesn't the fine sand will ruin you glasses. I would try to find out if your glasses are made of acrylic or plastic. You might try calling the company to see if it will work on plastic licenses before you try it.

I use a lens cleaner wipe. The same as can be used to clean eye glass lenses. They work really good.

I have anti glare coating and this product works just fine. I also have the scratch resistant coating. This product works great as a daily cleaner for your lenses.

this stuff dries hard!! i would use a cheap chip brush and the toss it. if you wear glasses,be careful not to splash on them. like i said,this stuff dries hard and can ruin your (plastic lenses) eyewear. do cover/protect surrounding areas!! good luck.

First this only works on plastic not glass. The next concern would be is the tint on the surface or is it through and through? If they are plastic and you won't rub off the tint, I think it might work. I would be very cautious.

Perhaps, but it appears to be made-to-order for hard contact lenses. It is amazing how well it works. You might want to give it a try.

Yes it will, if the scratches are very fine. Most of the "foggy" look is caused by microscopic scratches and dirt that regular glass cleaner will not remove. The plastic polish will clean that very well, but will not remove large scratches. It is the best PLASTIC cleaner I have used.

I would imagine so. I used this on stainless steel, brushed nickel, and a few other generic metals and it works just fine. I even used it to buff a scratch out of my glasses.

I've used it successfully on scratched CDs and CVDs. It can remove relatively light scuffs but there is some limit- it seems that really ugly scratches can't be fixed. I've tried using 1200 grit wet/dry sandpaper on these, followed by the Novus. It works but you have maybe a 25% success rate.

I used it on some clear plastic lenses. It left a bunch of small scratches all over. I wouldn't use it on anything I really cared about.

it works great on my prescription glasses. It works better if they are clean though.

no lens is scratch proof. Iv had few helmets in my days. Iv scratch ever one. You simply make due with it until you cant deal with it. Then you find a replacement outer lens. I think you might be able to find one?? I have not scratched this helmet up too bad enough. O and I do keep mine in a yarn bag I found at a thrift shop! Nice soft bags always help.

I believe it does work with lenses. But I would do research on the product to see if it actually does.

As long as it's plastic lenses it should remove fine scratches. Also works on cds and dvds.

I have never used it for eyeglasses, so I can't accurately say how it would do on them.I use it primarily for my retainers, and for jewelry.

Yes, I have used this for cleaning rings, eyeglasses and small electronic devices. It should work just fine, just place them in the supplied basket and run as many cycles as required for the desired cleaning effect.

Not sure I would try that in that the unit gets warm to hot, and if the lenses were in contact with the metal container, might damage them. Also, I have had two of the units fail. Hard to tell unless you listen quite closely. Found out when my contacts started bothering me. Now use a different system.
