The lenses in my specs are scratched. Is it possible to get them polished or will I have to get new lenses?

Answer: 

It's not possible to polish lenses to get rid of scratches without altering the power of the lens, so you'd need to get new lenses.

You can add a special scratch-resistant coating to your lenses - it might be worth thinking about this next time you buy a new pair or you get your spectacles reglazed.
