Old ski goggles - should I give up trying to find replacement lenses?

I'm grumpy because they're absolutely fine otherwise and not even that old!

2015 Dragon APSX, and the lens has taken a battering over the years to the extent that I have been using sunglasses where possible. I really need to replace the lens but it just seems impossible to find anything available online for any model older than 5 years.

Has anyone had any luck with replacing lenses for old models? I'll be so annoyed if I have to buy whole new goggles, both the cost and such a bloody waste!

Sorry APXs that should say

I think goggles are unfortunately designed as disposable items, apart from the really really high end ones. 5 years seems quite a good run for them. From experience, the foam and plastic starts disintegrating at around 8-10 years anyway, so you probably wouldn't be buying them much more life.

Thanks @StamppotAndGravy for your reply.
You're probably right. They are still in v good nick though, other than the lens being battered. I hate waste!
I've emailed Dragon as well so I'll update the thread if I have any joy in case it helps anyone.

Update - Dragon have told me the APX have been out of production for 5 years now so no replacement lenses available. But they've given me a 50% discount code for new goggles, so if anyone else finds themselves in the same position it's worth asking the question! Grin
