My (everyday prescription) glasses have a big scratch on the lens, which is sub-optimal. Any suggestions on how to buff it out without trashing the rest of the lens - if such a thing is possible?
Thanks!
Take it to an opticians, you don't have the capability to carefully machine a lens without affecting the prescription.
T-cut
maybe. Let us know how it goes
Just remember that altering either side of the lens will affect the prescription. If you have no prescription and it's a plain lens you might be able to modify the whole lens equally if you're a russian lens meister in his basement but otherwise you're going to see wobbly things, blurs and make having specs a bit pointless.

this, my mate is an optician, i believe him.
Buff out is probably the wrong phrase... er... polyfilla or equivalent?
Buffing it will produce a groove, which will be optically awful. Leaving as a scratch, your brain might learn to ignore it.
Just get the affected lense reglazed. Or get both done by an online firm for the same money.
No repair possible without effecting the optics of the lens, replacement time I'm afraid.
What about chip repair like autoglass?
That's for laminated windscreens not single piece lenses.
In theory you could fill the scratch with a resin then polish but optically the result would be poor and it would be quicker and easier simply to replace the lens.
