In the past I think I've seen thin adhesive plastic films attached to
displays of that type (similar to electrostatically adhered cell phone
screen protectors). Thickness and material can likely be chosen such that
it lasts for a reasonable amount of time before scratching up. In the case
of cell-phone screen protectors they are replaceable and often sold in
packs of 2 or more with the expectation that the individual protectors will
wear out and be replaced.

Perhaps researching the manufacturers of transparent lens/screen protector
films might yield a whitepaper.

Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated with the company below.

My first google PDF result for "lens screen protector film filetype:pdf" (
https://www.photodon.com/Film-Comparison-Print.pdf ) yields a PDF comparing
the different grades of plastic protection film from the sellers website.

The FAQ on the website ( https://www.photodon.com/FAQ-Screen-Protectors.htm=
l)
suggests that they sell $5 sample kits of different films, do custom screen
protectors, and have an online tool for 'finding the right screen protector
film for the application'.

Best of luck! And, if possible, let us know how it goes.
