Can one remove scratches from eyeglasses with polycarbonate lenses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not easily: Scratches in polycarbonate lenses involve the removal of plastic in the scratch. To smooth it out you would need to grind this away which would alter the power of the lense and might induce some distortion. Check with an optical shop to see if some correction is possible or replacement is needed.
