Lack of spares and the discontinuation of models

I love Oakley. I have had Oakley prescription glasses since I was 15 years old, I am now 35. They are durable, reliable, comfortable. I have one major issue though. The lack of spare parts and the discontinuation of models! I have had my current pair (TRIM PLANE) since 2018. I typically replace my lenses every 2 years, having just replaced my current lenses (May 2022). I have a stigmatism and so my lenses are not cheap. Unfortunately, this past weekend the left wing snapped at the pivot. I have made several enquiries into replacing the wing but have been told that no spares are available. I then resolved to simply buy a new pair of the TRIM PLANE model in order to simply use my existing (new) lenses for the frames. I was told that the model has been discontinued. This is highly inconvenient as I am now forced to purchase a new frame as well as new lenses. My spectacles are my vision, I am blind without them. I am reaching out to Oakley in the hope that somewhere, there is a TRIM PLANE model I can purchase. Any assistance would be so greatly appreciated, by both myself and my bank account. Your loyal patron, Alex.
