Any ideas other than buying new frames ($$$)?

Depends on what the frames are made of. Many are titanium and cannot
be field repaired. If you can get all the numbers off the frames, you
may be able to buy an exact replacemnet frame online for very little
money. Frames usually have the manufacturer, and/or model number or
name on the inside of the earpiece. Inside the bridge will usually be
the numbers indicating the size of the frame in millimeters. It will
usually be three numbers that correspond to the width of the lens at
the widest point, the length of the bridge between the lenses, and the
height of the lens area. If only two numbers it's the lens width and
bridge width. Just googling on the frame model number will usually get
you several websites that have your frame.
