This is the stuff used in manufacturing glass lenses for eye glasses, the only trick is getting the mixture just right, too mucha nd it's too agressive, too little and you'll never get the surface smoothed.

I would think the hard part would be constant smooth pressure/contact with the lens surface area, but if you can figure that out, you couldd get great quality.

One thing to keep in mind is by the time you "remove" the scratches, you'll have eliminated the surface tension/case hardening that makes the glass lenses "impact resisitant". Wouldn't be any fun to have good looking lenses that break .
