Hey everyone! I accidentally scratched my glasses right in the center of the lens—ugh, the one place I actually look through! It's not a small scratch; it's quite noticeable and really distracting whenever I try to focus. I'm reaching out to see if anyone has successfully dealt with a similar situation before. Are there any DIY tricks that genuinely work to fix this, or is it best to just replace the lenses entirely? I've seen suggestions like toothpaste, baking soda, and scratch filler kits, but I'm worried about making the situation worse since I wear these glasses daily. Any tips, hacks, or product recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch in advance!

I've tried using restoration paste on my glasses before, and it helped a bit with glare but didn't fully fix the scratch since there's material missing from the lens. If it's really bothering you, I highly recommend considering replacing the lenses instead of going for any temporary hacks. Zenni optical has great options if you do decide to go that route!
Honestly, if they're prescription lenses, your best bet is getting them fixed properly. Most DIY solutions are just temporary and can worsen the damage over time. If you're looking for a quick fix, it might help somewhat, but in the long run, you should contact the place where you bought them for permanent solutions, like lens replacement.
True, but a quick fix can really help if you're in a bind!
