Just Do One Thing and the Scratches on Your Glasses Disappear Immediately
Scratches on your glasses can be frustrating and inconvenient, especially when they obstruct your vision. While deep scratches usually require professional repair, minor surface scratches can often be addressed at home. Surprisingly, one common household item—Vaseline—can help minimize these blemishes, making your glasses look much clearer. This simple, affordable method is quick and easy, requiring just a few steps.
Here’s a detailed guide to using Vaseline to reduce the appearance of scratches on your glasses.
Why Vaseline Works
Vaseline, or petroleum jelly, has a smooth, oily consistency that fills in minor scratches on surfaces like plastic or glass. By applying it to your lenses, you can create a temporary optical illusion that minimizes the visibility of scratches and restores clarity to the scratched areas.
What You’ll Need
- A small amount of Vaseline (petroleum jelly)
- A microfiber cloth (or any soft, lint-free cloth)
- Gentle dish soap
- Warm water
Step-by-Step Process
Step 1: Clean the Glasses
Before addressing the scratches, clean your glasses thoroughly to remove dust, dirt, or oils that may interfere with the process.
- Mix a few drops of gentle dish soap in warm water.
- Dip your glasses in the solution and gently clean them using your fingers.
- Rinse under clean water and dry them with a microfiber cloth.
Step 2: Apply Vaseline
- Take a small amount of Vaseline on the tip of your finger. A pea-sized amount should be enough for both lenses.
- Gently rub the Vaseline over the scratched areas in a circular motion.
- Make sure the scratches are well-coated with the Vaseline.
Step 3: Remove Excess Vaseline
- Using a clean microfiber cloth, gently wipe off the excess Vaseline from the lenses.
- Be careful not to press too hard, as you might remove the Vaseline from the scratches.
- The goal is to leave a very thin layer of Vaseline within the scratches while cleaning the rest of the lens.
Step 4: Inspect the Lenses
- Hold the glasses up to the light to check if the scratches are less visible.
- If needed, repeat the process to improve the results.
