Regular eye exams are crucial for maintaining eye health, but care for glasses is also vital for optimal vision. Most contemporary corrective lenses are made from a special plastic rather than glass, making them lighter but potentially more prone to scratches. Sunglasses provide protection against harmful UV rays, dust, and other particles that can irritate or damage the eyes.
While minor scratches may be fixable at home, larger scratches should be addressed immediately, possibly requiring lens replacement. Here are some common home remedies:
| Method | Description | Caution |
|---|---|---|
| Baking Soda | Create a paste with warm water and baking soda, apply gently in circular motions, and rinse with warm water. | Ensure thorough rinsing to avoid residue. |
| Toothpaste | Use a non-abrasive, non-gel toothpaste, apply a small amount, rub gently with a soft cloth, and rinse afterward. | Check for abrasive components. |
| Glass Etching Cream | This is an aggressive method and not recommended for general use; it can remove coatings and damage lenses if not used carefully. | Use extreme caution or avoid. |
