How should you do if your plastic glasses get scratched?

October 9th, 2009 by Jay Furlong No comments »

Plastic glasses are gaining popularity for over 50 years. Since its birth, plastic eyeglass was keeping on gaining share in the eyewear market. There are a lot of advantages of plastic glasses such as lightweight and inexpensiveness, one disadvantage is that plastic glasses can easily get scratched.

When your plastic glasses get scratched, the lenses will get blurry, hence impact your vision. It depends on how serious the scratches on your plastic glasses are. If it is really severe, you need to send it back to the optician for replacement lenses for your plastic glasses. If the scratches are minor, here are some tips to remove the lines on your plastic glasses.

First, wash and clean your plastic eyeglass using warm soapy water, rinse it ad wipe it dry using glasses cloth. After rinsing, most of the dirt will be washed away, and the visible remainder is just the scratches.

Second, further clean the lenses of plastic eyeglass by spraying wood-cleaning liquid. This liquid not only cleans the lenses of plastic eyeglass, but also polishes the lenses.

Finally, spread a bit of petroleum jelly to the scratch lines. Once again wipe it off using micro-fiber cloth. The jelly will penetrate to the lines, making the lines on the plastic eyeglass much less visible.

While most old low vision patients use hand-held low vision optical magnifier of different strength for different works.

Contact lenses are the new alternate in the recent 50 years for achieving eye care and clearer vision. Contact lenses are popular among those who don’t want to be bothered by the glasses, and want to show the natural beauty of their faces. Some opticians believe that prolonged wear of contact lenses will trigger eye infections which will further complicate the eye care and vision errors.

Lasik surgery s believed to be the most modern technology in the eye care and vision sphere. This surgery corrects your eye care and vision problems permanently, and let you be free from any vision correction gears. Though laser surgery is thought to be safe, there exist some side effects as per reports in the media, and it is reported that some people are not suitable for the surgery due to their personal medical status.

So many options provide us full freedom of eye care vision protection. As one person only has one pair of eyes, any efforts towards the vision protection will be more than worthwhile.
