1. Baking Soda Buffing Method
Baking soda acts as a mild abrasive, which can help smooth tiny surface scratches on basic plastic or older glass lenses.
How to try it:
Mix 1–2 teaspoons of baking soda with a few drops of water to form a thin paste.
Wash your glasses with mild soap and dry with a microfiber cloth.
Apply a small amount of the paste to the scratch and rub gently in a circular motion for 10–15 seconds.
Rinse thoroughly with room-temperature water and dry with a soft cloth.
Best for: Very light scratches on lenses without special coatings.
Avoid if: Your lenses have anti-reflective or blue-light coatings.
