True, but the OP could use the original lenses in new frames. There's no

They keep changing frame shapes to prevent that (more profits). The
lenses may be perfectly fine, but it's very likely you won't find new
frames of the same size and shape if it's more than a year or two old.

When my mother's frames broke, the first shop we went to said they
didn't have frames to fit her lenses, but they could do both frames and
lenses. When I said we go someplace else, it was amazing how fast they
found a pair of frames that fit.
