HELP PLEASE I've scratched my glasses by cleaning them with some type of unsavory fabric, do you know any methods with which to remove the scratches?

UUUUUUUUUUGH, I am amazed at this. I have been wearing glasses for over 15 years every waking moment of the day. I swear to god I’ve cleaned my glasses with just about every type of fabric but somehow, last week, at some point I must have cleaned them with something that scratched the SHIT out of them. It’s pretty bad – the scratches aren’t deep but there’s a lot of them. Of course I can still see through them but it’s like looking through glasses that are slightly smudged and of course the scratches are all centrally located in the lens. UGH. Does anyone know of any methods I could do at home or something I could buy that is fairly inexpensive (if its expensive please let me know as well, I need to consider all options but of course I’d prefer to do something easier/cheaper).....I just called my eye doctor and an extremely apathetic person who I had never spoken to there before told me there was strictly nothing at all I could do and I’d have to get new lenses. SHIT, IS THAT TRUE? I feel like there has to be something. HELP! THANK YOU!

Side note: what type of fabric could this have been to do such damage? Anyone know? I have no idea and am scared shitless to ever clean them again with anything other than the little microfiber cloth lol
