Has anyone tried to use this product to remove the eyeglass lens scratches?

Often plastic lens eyeglasses have a coating on them. That is softer and scratches easily. Using this product on those glasses will make it worse. It will remove the coating. Yes I have tried it and found out the hard way. However, on untreated plastic, like safety glasses, it worked fine for me.

Yes. This is nonabrasive and difinately will not scratch lenses and computer screens. Just wipe your eyeglasss and screen gently.

No. This is a mild abrasive designed to remove the buildup of sap, insect debris etc. If the glass is scratched, this won't work.

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.

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!

It would be good for cleaning the viewfinder or any other glass lenses. Eyeglasses: yes you can use this on eyeglasses, but only on glass based lenses, not plastic. DO NOT use this on contact lenses that you put on your eye.

Most eyeglasses have a "coating" and I would NOT use this on them. I just had to replace my reading glasses because the coating had worn thru.

I don't really know as it was a gift. I suppose any kind of eyeglass cleaner with a soft cloth might work. Sorry.

My husband said it is great on fiberglass, decals, & plastic lenses. Many other uses also. Another suggestion would be to contact the manufacturer.

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.

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.

It would remove scratches from uncoated glass or tempered glass lenses (dunno about plastic and polycarb). HOWEVER, by changing the thickness of the lens, it would alter its optical properties -- you could end up with a distorted view or a different prescription! I would NOT recommend using this or any polishing lroduct on eyeglass lenses.

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.

The product description says it cleans glass and metal - but I would check with your eyeglass manufacturer in case they are made of another material other than glass -- or if they have a coating on the lens that this product may damage. Since my eyeglasses cost me several hundred dollars, I only use an optical cleaning solution -- mine says "isopropanol" solution.

Yes, they work great on eyeglasses with the usual daily dusty ol' dirt that accumulates, better than taking a cloth to them. The Pen has a dust brush as well, to get larger particles off before the are pressed against the lens by cleaning. But they aren't very effective if you need to remove spots of dried dog slobber, big greasy fingerprints or splashes of food on your lenses. I use water or solution and a cloth to break down those spots, and the Pen to polish them up nice.If you have binoculars or a camera they are the cat's meow!

I havn't tried, but you might be able to scrap it off of glass with a razor blade, depending on how many coats you put on. It does not scratch.....Hope this helps!
