Introduction

This guide will tell you how to fix surface level scratched lenses with pollyWatch Plastic or equivalent. This is an edited version of the guide found on Forbes

What you need

1. Step 1 Identify the Severity of the Scratch

   

   • First, identify how severe the scratch is. Take a look at the lens when it's turned off, when the screen is on but displaying a black screen, and when it's in-game. Put your finger on the small rectangular sensor between the lenses to turn the screen on without having to put it on completely.

   • If you see equally-spaced circular ridges, don't worry, that's part of the design. The Quest's lenses have multiple layers, with a clear top layer and then the Fresnel (circular ridged) layer underneath.

   • Any damage to the Fresnel layer will require the top layer to be cracked, not scratched. This fix won't help your problem, and you'll likely have to either send it off to the manufacturer under your warranty and hope for the best or buy a replacement headset.
