Anybody ever try it? I can't afford new glasses just now. Seems to me it would be pretty tricky.
Depending on how bad they are, the trick I used with CD's also worked on my kids glasses. Some of the old style white paste toothpaste, a little water and your thumb. The abrasives in toothpaste are micro-fine and if you start out thick and slowly thin out with water will leave the lens real clear. Both my kids wore glasses and neither were very nice to them when they were younger.
