Hi all.
I have a pair of original Oakley Square Wire 2.0's originally bought somewhere around 2004, for which my prescription has, unsurprisingly changed.
At time of purchase, my prescription was L -1.25 and R -1.50 or thereabouts. Fast-forward 15 years and my prescription, although still mild at L+R -1.75, could use an upgrade.
That and there is a nasty little scratch on one eyepiece that probably can't be buffed out without distorting the lens.
Just off the phone to Oakley store in the UK, where the "optical specialist" has advised that since the frame is discontinued, it's no longer possible to order lenses (fairly obvious) although another Optician might be able to provide a suitable lens.
This, of course, would mean no polarised Iridium finishes and I quite had my heart set on Jade/Emerald or Ruby/Red Iridium lenses.
I guess the question is, are there official, Oakley lenses currently in production that have a similar curvature that could be used in my frames?
Given the size of correction, I imagine the glass itself would not be overly thick.
L+R -1.50 is acceptable (my contacts are L-1.25, R-1.5).
Also, I am based in the UK but would consider sending overseas (stateside) for the work to be done.
Any advice welcomed.

PS. Let me know if you need images uploaded although I'm sure you all know what original Square Wire's look like.
Peace.
