A member asked:
Could my worsening vision be a result of a scratched lens?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Most lens scratches (on eyeglasses) cause annoying changes in the vision but not overall worsening. You should seek your ophthalmologist for an evaluation to determine if there is a cause from your eyes.
