My cat got to my glasses since I left them out of the case (the one time) and I have only had my glasses for barely a month. I am a bit annoyed because I can actually notice the scratches and it's just bothersome. (I have learned my lesson, do not leave glasses out of glasses case before going to bed, I know now). I have read a few posts on the internet:
"Lenses that have a protective or non-glare coating cannot always be buffed enough to remove the scratches without also removing the coating."
"Some scratches may reside in the lens coating, not on the lens; these cannot be buffed out."
"Buffing with anything abrasive means removing material surrounding the scratch(es) to level the surface. This can change the shape of a lens, making it less effective."
I really love these glasses (they are from Walmart) and the thing is, we don't have the kind of money to go buy another pair and besides, that would be a waste of money anyway. So should I just deal with the scratches or is there a way to get rid of them without having any of the above happen? Advice is very much appreciated and thank you for reading, sorry for this being so long.

Rachael,
I'm not familiar with Wal-Mart optical shops (don't have them in my state), but since it has been only a month, I suggest you call them and check about what kind of warranty/replacement policy they have. Before I became a mommy I worked for an optometrist for about 8 or 9 years, and I wouldn't recommend trying to buff out the scratches. Removing lens material with alter the Rx. I've heard some people criticize saying that it's such a small amount it won't make any difference.
My dog literally ate my Walmart glasses 5 months as nd 3 weeks after I got them...Walmart replaced them and all I had to provide was a piece of lenses and frame!
My husband scratched his new glasses so he talked to his eye doctor. They told him to clean them with nail polish remover and it worked!! Hope this helps!
Hi,
I read this suggestion and tried it. It worked, asked Walmart if there was anything they could do. They said the only option was to get new lenses. Thank you.
Is it really works...i tried toothpaste but it doesn't works ...pls give me rly
Did you try taking them to Wal-Mart & asking them? Lots of times they will fix minor problems for free. If it's not minor they could at least tell you how much to fix them.
WALMART GLASSES ARE GUAR. FOR A YEAR AT LEAST EVEN IF STEPPED ON AND/OR BROKEN --CALL THEM
