I've got some scratches on my glasses.can they affect my eyesight or vision in any way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Scratches may make things look blurry through the glasses but will not harm your vision in any way so you shouldn't worry. If you want to get rid of the scratches you will have to get new lenses. They can't be polished out as that will change the prescription.
