  Here are some solutions you can use to remove the scratches: 1.Armour-Etch: This is a professional solution that can be used to deal with coated lenses. It is only necessary to spray this solution to the scratched side of the lens which has an anti-glare coating. This remover is helpful since only the coating layer is scratched, rather than the lens itself. 2.Non-abrasive toothpaste: Some eye care practitioners recommend plain non-abrasive toothpaste for eyeglass scratch repair. 3.Jeweler's rouge: Eyewear users can also get a small dab of jeweler's rouge from a jewelry store to repair scratched lenses. 4.Ammonia: It is also feasible to spray a small amount of ammonia as scratch solution.
