No toothpaste? Raid your pantry. Mix one part baking soda with one part water to make a gritty paste. This works like magic on minor scratches. Use a cotton ball or a microfiber cloth. Rub gently for 20 seconds. Rinse with lukewarm water. Pat dry. The scratch will feel less like a canyon and more like a faint molehill.
Why does this work? Baking soda is super fine. It’s like polishing a gemstone, but for your glasses. And it smells like cookies. Win-win.

Car Wax: The Overachiever
Wait—don’t laugh. Car wax works wonders on glasses. Why? It fills in micro-grooves. Apply a tiny drop of non-abrasive car wax to a soft cloth. Rub it over the scratch in tiny circles. Then buff it off. The scratch won’t disappear, but it’ll become invisible to your eye. It’s like a trench coat for your lens flaw.
Yes, I’m telling you to treat your glasses like a classic Mustang. Weird? Sure. Effective? Absolutely.
