Can you find the offending area that caused the scratch? Some models come with viewfinder inserts that might solve the problem. If you can feel the "burr" an emery board might remove it.

Thanks, Tall Tree.

No, I can't feel the roughness of the metal rim of the viewfinder.  The rim feels smooth, but it was still scratching my right eyeglasses lens when I had my right eyeglasses lens was pressed against it.

There's no viewfinder insert available for the Panasonic ZS series cameras.

I hope the felt chair pads will prevent further scratching of my lens.  I don't know yet if that'll work, because I haven't made many photos since I applied the felt strips to my viewfinder rim, and I haven't yet replaced my eyeglasses lens.
