The Original Lens Doctor is one of the many as seen on TV products that has a number of mixed reviews. The product claims to eliminate scratches on eye glass lenses and surface imperfections. The spray-on Lens Doctor product uses a blend of polymers that claim to fill in these scratches and imperfections to reduce the effect of their appearance and improve your ability to see through your glasses once again. The Lens Doctor scratch repair kit is intended for both plastic and glass lenses, and can be used on safety glasses, sunglasses, and prescription lenses. The product also claims to have a UV ray blocking component to it that will reduce the impact of harmful UV rays on your eyes during day time hours. http://www.asseenontv.com/prod-pages/lens_doctor.html The product is sold in a 6 ounce spray bottle with a polishing cloth and retails for anywhere from $9.99 to $16.99. Lens Doctor is currently sold online through a number of retail outlets and on online auctions through independent retailers.

The Original Lens Doctor scratch repair kit became instantly popular after television infomercials promoting the product began hitting the airwaves in 2007. Shortly after that, a number of consumer testing groups debunked the claims made by the company producing and selling Lens Doctor. http://www.kfvs12.com/Global/story.asp?S=6365310There are numerous complaints about this product online and many negative reviews that claim that Lens Doctor is completely ineffective for reducing the appearance of scratches on eyeglasses of any type. In addition, the product was proven very difficult to actually use. The company claims that it wipes away scratched instantly, but the package instructions say that you have to apply the sticky polymer coating the the glasses, and then dry with a blow dryer held 16 inches from the lenses for five minutes. http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/money/news/2007/08/lens-doctor-eyeglass-repair-8-07/overview/0708_lens_ov_1.htm

Currently, the Original Lens Doctor website has been dismantled, and this product is no longer for sale directly through the company.
