I must admit I do wear contact lenses, because they are easier to wear and there is less chance of getting the lens of my contacts scratched up. You should see my glasses. Smudges, scratches, etc. I admit I do not take care of them.
That’s why the Lens CPR was so appealing to me as a product. Imagine getting rid of surface scratches on sunglasses, prescription glasses and watch crystals – instantly! If it works, I may not have to buy another pair of glasses again … until my vision gets worse.
To put the Lens CPR to the test, I asked Mal and Ann Powell of Squirrel Hill to help me out. Mal has worn glasses for years, but this is something new for Ann who tells me she is 49 ( even though she claims to have a 50-year-old son ). She’s not thrilled about wearing glasses, but she hates when she spends money on them and they get scratched up.
WATCH AS WE PUT IT TO THE TEST
For our test, we tried a scratched up pair of glasses, a scratched up pair of clip on sunglasses and a watch face which had a nice big mark between the 12 and the 1.
The Lens CPR most involved part is the cleaning of the lens. A special spray and cloth are used … and then, its followed by a washing with clear water. Once that is done, the actual scratch remover is applied like a balm over the area in question. Then, the product is allowed to dry. They suggest 30 minutes ( hardly instant ) and a blow dryer can be used to speed up the process.
We did all that and found no difference in any of the scratched surfaces. Even worse, at the end of the instructions it says to allow for 8-10 hours for the glasses to settle. I’m not sure what that means but we all agree that there is nothing instant about the Lens CPR. It does little to remove scratches. Still, you can find it at any local drug store. I picked up my kit for a little over $10 at Rite-Aid.
