Any way to fix lense scratches/abrasions?

I was testing my macro(5050) out on my home aquarium & to my great disappoint, I found that the lense wasn't as recessed as I previously thought & now there's an abrasion spot in the very center of my lense!!!!!!! I guess the lense rubbed against the aquarium glass or acrylic.

Is there any way to fix it?

You and Eric both have done this now...I can't imagine doing it, but I have managed to scratch a UN lens worth a couple to three hundred bucks...maybe it won't affect the image. Take some pics and look for the scratch...

I'm usually soooooooooo careful, but I thought the lense was recessed so that it wouldn't touch. I was wrong.

What should I take a picture of to check for abnormalities? Light picture or dark?

I dunno...I would try light myself. Put the scratch over a well-defined light spot and take a pic. Pull it up on the computer and zoom in on said spot. Just guesswork on my part...
