Can you use vinegar to clean plastic eye lenses that have been coated with anti glare and scratch tesistentr resistant products?

I would think not. When I got my glasses, which also have the non-glare coating, they told me that the coating is verysusceptible to scratching. I wouldn't think that vinegar would be good for the lenses. They tried selling be a bottle of "special cleaning solution" for $8, that was about 2 ounces. I have been using a high quality cleaning cloth and a spray bottle with distilled water. It works ok, but does not remove all film.
Anyone else have a suggestion?

What are the relative merits of plastic and glass for lenses?
The advantage of plastic is that it is lightweight and more impact resistant than glass. The advantage of glass is that it is scratch resistant and provides the clearest possible vision.
What plastic is scratch proof?
This is a big question and a major technical issue for materials scientists and engineers. The short answer is: there are no truly scratch-proof plastics. Plastic is intrinsically soft material, because it is carbon/petroleum-based. Most minerals (rocks, glass, etc) will easily scratch plastic because they are made of metal oxides, which are intrinsically hard materials consisting only of metal-oxygen bonds. When it comes to scratch resistance, a harder material can always scratch a softer material. So no matter what plastic you have, there will always be a harder material out there that can scratch it, such as diamond, alumina, or zirconia. Some plastics are more scratch-resistant than others, however. Examples of scratch-resistant plastics include polycarbonates, CR-39, polyurethanes, and PTFE. Any plastic can be made more scratch-resistant by applying a scratch-resistant coating, which can be composed of any number of highly engineered silicone resins, epoxies, acrylates, etc which can be thermally or UV-cured. There are hundreds of brand names for scratch-resistant coatings that advertise varying levels of abrasion resistance; many use a steel wool test to define just how scratch resistant the cured coating is. Hope this is along the lines of what you wanted to know.

Is plastic lenss better than glass lenss for eyeglasses?
Yes. Plastic lenses are more scratch-resistant and also a lot lighter. That is totally wrong. The main reason to get glass is that they are more scratch resistant. The glass, however, is heavier, and the glass can shatter, so very few people get glass now.
