How to Clean Anti-Scratch & Non-Glare Lenses

Many prescription eyeglasses come with anti-scratch and anti-fog lenses. Glasses that are without a case, dropped or misplaced can develop scratches on the lenses. A coating applied to the lenses can prevent small scratches. Anti-fog coating is also applied to many lenses to prevent them from fogging up in cold or wet climates. Nail polish remover will clean both types of lenses.
