Is it really bad? If it's just something small try some toothpaste ... otherwise you're probably looking at new lens'. Thank god that when I scratched mine, I already had my new pair on order so I only had to live with them for a week. I know exactly what you mean though, sucks massive ass.

That's not too bad, I'd try buffing them out with toothpaste for a while. You may not get them out fully, but it might help.

Heh, thanks ... I like it too.

Yeah, you might need to go at it for half an hour (hopefully not) or even longer possibly. Toothpaste is about the only thing I've used that's done much of anything in the past. At least it isn't as bad as my last pair, I'd scan them, but I'm heading out and far too lazy to do it right now :p. If you notice any change just keep at it, it should do something to the smaller one's ... dunno if it'll help on the bigger one any. Good luck, I know how freakin' annoying that can be.

what are the lenses Plastic, to scratch so easy??:(
if so next time buy real Glasses
i tried plastic lenses Once,
what a waste of my $$,
I scratched them cleaning them!:|
went back to "Photo Gray"
they change Darker in sunlight so you only need one pair of glasses...
Oh and they are Glass,so they don't scratch so easy.
been using them since 1974 !

If your lenses are plastic, you got lucky. You shouldn't use paper products like kleenex or paper towels to clean plastic lenses. They can scratch plastic lenses too.
Clean cloth is okay though. ;)

Do you see the scratches when the glasses are on? Do they impair the vision? And BTW, judging by the pic there's almost no doubt you gonna need a new lens. I feel sorry for you! :(

I doubt i would wear glasses even if I had to. I'd just convince myself that the world is actually blurry and the people with glasses are missing out.

Put a small ammount on the lens and then use a nice clean cloth (t-shirt works fine) and just buff it out. Have at it for 10 minutes or so ... Toothpaste is a mild abrasive so it would help to buff it out some if the scratches are small enough. If the scratch is too deep it might not do anything, but this is the only thing I've tried that actually gave me visible results.

That would suck. I wear contacts, much better than glasses.
