Why Smart Glasses Scratches Are Way Worse Than Regular Glasses

Regular glasses just bend light. Smart glasses like SpeCiC are packed with technology, including an 8MP camera, dual microphones, and AI processing capabilities.

The Hidden Layers of Your SpeCiC Lenses

• The outer scratch-resistant hard coat: The first line of defense.
• The anti-reflective (AR) layer: Reduces glare for clear vision.
• The blue light filtering layer: Protects your eyes from strain.
• The hydrophobic/oleophobic layer: Repels water and fingerprints.
• The vision-correcting layer: For prescription lens options (myopia, hyperopia, plano).

How Scratches Ruin Your Experience

• It distorts your vision by scattering light.
• It causes annoying glare and reflections.
• It traps dirt and oil, making the problem worse.
• It can spread quickly.

Prevention Is Better Than Cure

Invest in a Good Protective Case

Your SpeCiC glasses came with a hard-shell case. Use it! Consider getting a second one for your car or office.

Clean Your Lenses the Right Way

1. Rinse first with lukewarm water.
2. Use a tiny drop of mild dish soap.
3. Rinse again.
4. Pat (don't rub) dry with a clean microfiber cloth.

Other Quick Tips

• Always hold them by the frame.
• Never put them face down.
• Consider a lens protector for SpeCiC glasses.

Assessing the Damage: Is It Fixable?

How to Tell How Deep the Scratch Is

1. Light test: Can you see light through it? If yes, it's deep.
2. Fingernail test: Does your nail catch? If yes, it's deep.
3. Vision test: Does it distort your vision? If yes, it's serious.

The Three Categories

• Superficial: Only on the coating. Fixable with DIY.
• Moderate: Into the lens but not affecting structural integrity. Proceed with caution.
• Deep: Into the lens material. Needs replacement.

DIY Repair Methods That Actually Work (Superficial Only)

DIY Methods to AVOID AT ALL COSTS

• ❌ Sandpaper or Steel Wool

• ❌ Window Cleaner (harsh chemicals)
• ❌ Paper Towels or Your Shirt
