Restore damaged lenses?

[Cekgsk]

Is it possible to restore damaged lenses or just replace with original equipment? Like the example in the attached photos.

I have seen youtube videos where people use tape to pull off that bubbled film.

Not on the front of the lens, you can't. When they're buggered, they're buggered. Don't risk your eyesight.

You can remove the flaking, but you’ll not be happy with the crappy Grey base.
Make yourself happy and replace with OEM (IF you can find some), or better, get some custom cut.

Tried it. Doesn't work.

Replacing is not a bad option. But you may have to send in your pair for proper fitting. Especially if you're not sure what exact OO model it is.

Steel wool and toothpaste will fix that no problem. Better than new

Use toothpaste as the lubricant for the steel wool?
