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.
