[TN-Bird] Binocular Repair Question

I would appreciate any advice and information about replacing the eyepiece lenses on my binoculars. I have a rather fine pair of Nikon bins, whose eyepiece lens I have unfortunately allowed to get considerably scratched. Except for this flaw, they are really a nice pair of bins that are otherwise in very good condition.

I am wondering two things chiefly: (1) First does it make sense to try to get these lenses replaced in terms of costs, or should I just bite the bullet and spend another $1,000 on a new pair. (2) If it is worth it, what would be the procedure for getting them replaced?where would I send them, how long would it take, about how much would it cost, etc.

Any information or stories of experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you
