How can you prevent and manage small scratches on your eyeglasses?

Small scratches on your eyeglasses can be annoying, but there are ways to prevent and manage them. First, always clean your glasses with a microfiber cloth designed for eyeglasses and use eyeglass cleaner or a mix of dish soap and water. Avoid using household cleaners or paper towels as they can scratch the lenses. If you notice a small scratch, try not to touch it with your finger or shirt, as this can make it worse. Instead, wait until you can clean them properly at home. DIY fixes like toothpaste or baking soda are not recommended as they can deepen the scratch. If scratches start to obstruct your vision or make it difficult to drive, it’s time to consider getting new lenses. Adding a scratch-resistant coating when you purchase new lenses can help prevent future scratches. Always handle your glasses with care to keep them in the best condition possible.
