So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

For Those With Scratched Glasses Lens Repair Is Vital

By Eula Nichols


Life has become so expensive, and when little accidents lead to more costs being incurred, that does not make anyone happy. Scratched glasses lens repair is one such expense which is not entirely welcome. An accidental scratch can cost more than anticipated especially if it is not dealt with delicately and efficiently.

This wouldn't be that difficult a decision, if the glasses weren't so very expensive in the first place. It would be a disaster if you should happen to use the wrong remedy and the lenses are worse off than before. They will then have to be replaced entirely instead of just buffed to perfection.

Some people are convinced that there are certain chemicals which you can purchase easily that will effectively deal with minor scratches instantly. They have tried them, and are confident to use them again. Only deep scratches cannot be removed on your own.

The chemicals suggested by others and on the internet seem to have merit in their function, but then why not just try one out? You have been instructed to thoroughly clean the lenses with warm soapy water to dispel all debris or oils, and then to add the desired chemical whilst carefully and gently buffing the lenses in a circular motion. This however, sounds too easy and too good to be true.

It must be people's skeptic nature, or perhaps the conditioning of their minds, to be convinced that you have to pay for something in order for it to be done correctly. Either way, it still makes you nervous for fear of failure. Of course, the fear will hinder the process, and the entire exercise will become a disaster. This could incur an even greater expense than at the start of the project. Not exactly the ideal situation to be in.

Most lenses are coated in an anti-glare finish and you are unsure as to how your actions might affect this coating. Also, even though the scratch might not be easy to see once you have vigorously buffed it, is it still there, will it resurface after the wax has worn off? Will the vision be as accurate once you have tampered with the shape of the lens?

Plastic lenses seem to scratch a lot easier than glass ones. The coating on the lenses may prove to be a problem too. The scratches might be on the coating only, but this is not a bonus as the coating will then be damaged if the scratch is to be buffed in one specific area. All of these pros and cons should be weighed up with the costs involved, before you make a decision on your plan of action.

Of course the professionals will advise you against trying to repair them on your own, and will take no responsibility if the lenses have been ruined completely. Scratched glasses lens repair is a risky and potentially costly decision which only you can decide for yourself. Either way, there is a solution if it all goes horribly wrong- just buy a new pair.
