    If you're a female and have ever had acrylic nails done, the answer to this question is a cinch. If not, I suggest you go to a nail salon, ask (pay) them to fill the nick with acrylic powder and file it down smooth for you. You can then take it home and find some nail polish to match the color and touch up the nick. Although it may sound difficult, I actually repaired a broken frame on my daughter's black eyeglasses this way and, yes, I found black nail polish, and the repair is virtually undetectible. [Virtually, meaning, you have to hold them in your hand in the right light and look reeeeeeeal close to see the repair. For everyday wear, you can't tell it's been repaired.] Hope this helps. Good luck!

    Best to have the local optometrist check on it. They know what to do.

    Dang! Same thing happened to me. When I folded my sunglasses, the "arm" to one side rubbed off the coating to the lens. I paid over a $100.00 for them, too! Who ever said pricey sunglasses were necessarily "quality". My five dollar ones are doing MUCH better!

    Try a plastic cleaner if the lenses are plastic. It will only work for light scratches. If the lenses are glass try a prescription eye wear place like lens crafters or whatever is in your neighborhood.
