I wonder about temporary fixes, like just waxing it; i've had sometimes reasonable improvement with scratches on my glasses with all those wonder treatments that slightly fill the scratch, and make them a little less distracting. The best was a long time ago, a kind of waxy slightly pink plastic that you scrubbed on the glasses and polished off so that it didn't remain on the rest of the glass, worked better than those dunk liquids they sell now that cover the whole lens. Anyway, just 'taking the edge off" the scratch seems to be one of those things where 20% of the work gets you 80% of the benefits. Which also makes me wonder whether the same goes for cerium polishing of the windshield, where taking just the edges off the scratch might reduce the distraction a lot.
