Customer Rating:      Summary: Absolutely terrible. Comment: This product ruined my lenses, which were only slightly scratched. The product interacted with my UV coating, and made them much, much worse. I read a poor review of this product, and then bought it anyway. I cannot stress enough that this product is completely worthless. DO NOT waste your money.
Customer Rating:      Summary: This product does not work Comment: This product does not work at all, it stained my sunglasses and my regular glasses, I followed the instructions exactly as they where and it did not work. This product leaves a white stain
Customer Rating:      Summary: Going in the Trash Comment: I tried this on a pair of non-prescription sunglasses and it actually made them worse. It didn't get out a single scratch and left a glossy coat that made it hard to see. I didn't expect it to take out the big scratches but it couldn't even handle the small ones for which it attests to. After one use, the rest of this product is being tossed in the trash can.
Customer Rating:      Summary: NEVER buy this or any other "eyeglass lens repair" product! Comment: I'm doing this as a public service to anyone who might be tempted to try repairing their prescription eyeglass lenses. JUST DON'T DO IT.
Regardless of product claims, there simply is no way to remove scratches from prescription lenses without the risk of changing the prescription or causing distortions. Non-prescription lenses may be fixed with store-bought solutions, but a prescription lens is meticulously manufactured for visual clarity. Brushing liquid onto the surface of such a lens WILL RUIN THE RX. Even if you don't notice, your eyes will. You'll end up with eye strain, and have to replace the lenses anyway.
My advice to you is to either learn to live with the fine scratches or replace your lenses. Usually, very fine scratches on a lens do not affect the prescription and are not noticeable when you are wearing your glasses. If the scratches are deep, REPLACE THE LENS. There is no "shortcut" - just more ways to waste your time and money.
The best way to prevent scratches in the future is to always clean your lenses with a solution specifically designed for the type of lens material they are made of, and always with a soft, lint-free cloth- NOT a paper product. Paper towels and tissues can leave fine lines. The wrong kind of lens cleaning solution can damage the coating on the surface of your lens.
The best lens material out there today is called Trivex. The next time you see your optician, ask about this lens. It is the most durable material currently on the market.
