The safest home method is to rinse the glasses with normal or cool water to remove dust, apply a small amount of mild dishwashing liquid gently with your fingers on both sides, rinse thoroughly with water, and gently dry them using a clean microfiber cloth.
Using a shirt, tissue, or rough materials like baking soda can cause fine scratches on the lenses and damage special coatings such as anti-reflective layers.
If there is a deep scratch on the lens, it cannot be fixed with home remedies, so it is best to get it checked at an optical store or consider replacing the lens.
