My sister claims that water is scratching her glasses. Is this true?

Question

My sister says that sometimes after she drys her glasses there's suddenly a new scratch.
She's convinced that it's the water doing it, but I don't think it is.
So, can water scratch glasses?

Please correct any mistakes you might find

Unless the water is highly corrosive, under extremely high pressure or full of gravel - no the water isn't scratching her glasses.

It's more likely she's drying on them something that is leaving scratches.
