Best ways to clean eyeglass lenses?

Hey everyone, I’ve run into a bit of a snag with one of my lenses. There is this tiny little surface scratch—right smack in the middle of the glass—and I am completely stumped on how to buff it out so it becomes invisible... What kind of solution should I be looking for? Would something like an LCD screen cleaner actually do the trick, or is that just wishful thinking? I really don't feel like dropping $167 on a brand-new replacement, so if anyone has some insight or a clever workaround, I would truly appreciate the help😉

I’m really not looking to shell $167 out for a brand-new pair if I can help it, so if anyone has any advice, I would truly appreciate it.😉

Are you actually serious about trying to fix this yourself?? 😁😉
First off, it really depends on what kind of lenses you use, whether they are soft or hard/RGP types..
Your best bet is probably just heading down to the eye doctor where you originally got them; they can usually polish it out for you quite easily. You might get lucky and have them do it for free, or maybe they'll just charge you a couple of bucks for the service...
If you bought them somewhere far away from your house, just stop by any local optometrist instead..
Just a word of caution: if you have specialized lenses, like something for keratoconus or a similar condition, make sure you mention that to them. Not every clinic handles those specific types, and they wouldn't want to take them in for polishing if there's a risk of damaging them..
Best,
