Default Polishing Glass - remove scratches

How do you remove scratches from glass. I have a number of computer
monitors that have minor scratches on the screen.

Thanks

With difficulty. It may be better to fill them in, in the same way that
chips on car windscreens are repaired.

If you can feel the scratch with a finger nail, you can not remove it
without creating distortion. Filling it may be possible.

That's not possible because computer monitors go a anti reflection finish
which you would destroy when you want to remove the scratch with any sort
of polish or whatever works in an abrasive way.

It'll be more visible then ever.
