Your day is ruined. You’ve just been hanging out with your friends at the beach when someone had the great idea to play some frisbee. Once the game is over, you got wipe your shades off, and realize that the sand has scratched them all up.
Awesome. What do you do now? Can you even fix scratched sunglass lenses?
Just because you’ve gone and damaged your sunglass lenses doesn’t mean you need to toss them out and get a new pair. Not only is it possible to fix scratched sunglass lenses, it’s easy, too. So instead of throwing away your beloved Ray Ban’s, try one of these three different tricks.
Light Scratches.
You’re going to need some Lemon Pledge and a clean cloth in ordering to fix scratched sunglass lenses. Just spray them on like you would any other kind of cleaning solution and rub it on with a clean cloth in a circular motion. (Oh, and this method will also make your glasses smelly lemony fresh!)
Heavier Scratches.
If you’ve got heavier scratches on your lenses, you’re naturally going to need something more heavy duty than Lemon Pledge. Try using car wax or silver polish to fix scratched sunglass lenses instead. Use a cotton ball to apply the fixative to the lenses, and then wash them off with a clean cloth and some solution.
Broken Lenses.
If neither of these methods were able to fix scratched sunglass lenses, or if one of the lenses has cracked or fallen out, then you may need to replace sunglass lenses. Don’t fret–replacing sunglass lenses is easy, and replacement sunglass lenses are cheap. Just heat the frames up in a bowl of warm water (this makes them easier to work with), and then gently twist the old ones out. Reheat the frames and then work the sunglass lens replacement in starting at the bottom and following around the edge. Once they’re all set, make sure they won’t fall out.
