E21A Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Step 1 - buy new eyepro Step 2 - take better care of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clumpyedge Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 All the eyepro I buy come with a case that has protective sleeves for each lens. Is suggest if you go down the new glasses route getting a pair of Wiley X or similar or if you want to stay with goggles the Bolle 800 lenses are £24 each (comes up on my prime so if you have prime - free delivery) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted June 6, 2019 Supporters Share Posted June 6, 2019 Meguiars PlastRX plastic polish can ameliorate light surface clouding, but deep scratches, no. If you've given up on the lenses anyway, you could try heat. Keep them in a warm place to dry them out as much as possible, then heat them with a hair dryer or verrrrry cautiously with a heat gun. I've had some success with this on polycarbonate helmet visors, but I've also ruined one by holding the heat on it for just a fraction too long, so I'd only recommend it if you're already mentally committed to replacing them.

Huxley Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Tried it with an old pair of glasses, to get deep enough to remove the scratches meant the fov was changed. It no longer felt natural looking through them, so no like the guys said just buy a new pair and save yourself the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
