Hello forum,
I run a small business in UK where I re-sell pre-owned and vintage designer sunglasses by high end brands such as Prada, Gucci, Versace, Chanel etc... I also have a day job so Optical stuff is not my main field of expertise.
Some of the sunglasses I receive for re-sale have lenses that are scratched, or have the coating peeling off. I would also highlight that I do not deal with any type of prescription eyewear. I deal with regular sunglasses only.
I am wondering, is it actually possible/practical to repair such lenses. Also I would not know what they are made of. They are all plastic lenses but are they poly or CR39? Most of the sunglasses I re-sell are made by Luxottica Group SpA if it helps.
I have read this old thread where people suggest you can do it using acids etc.

Not sure how to get rid of scratches though?
Is it even worth going down this road or should I invest in a Patternless Edger and instead cut new lenses?
On this subject I did some research of CR39 lens suppliers and best prices I found for new lenses are below. Would you consider these prices competitive/good, considering I will be buying no more than $1000 batch as first order:
Available in 24 different colors
Wholesale prices removed.
Thanks in advance if you can take time to reply to me.
