This won't be easy for you to fix on your own. The acetone basically destroyed the coating on your lens.

You will need to take this to an eye glass shop and see if they can buff this off and apply a new coating.

Acetone ruined your eyeglasses. You might be able to sand it off, but you also may make it worse. Take it back to the store and see if they can remove the coating and re-coat it.
