Open Question: Is there a way to repair the faded plastic frame on my prescription glasses?

I own a two-year-old pair of prescription glasses with a plastic tortoiseshell frame, but over the years the plastic has faded. Now the frame looks as though it has dried out, and the tortoiseshell pattern that I had liked so much has gained white patches. The frame itself is not scratched or broken, so I was hoping to replace the lenses because of my prescription change, but I can't do so due to the current state of the frames. I have since purchased a new pair of glasses, but I would really love to salvage my old pair because I like them so much. I have tried asking this question before, and one user suggested using olive oil to help the dry spots to go away, but it did not work, and the frames were just as they were before. They were an expensive pair of Chanel glasses (I splurged since I needed to wear them every day), and other than the white splotches, they are in great condition with no scratches or fractures, so I'm not really willing to throw them away. I have tried to order a similar pair, but I have been unsuccessful in finding a pair that I like as much as I liked these. The store said that they do not repair dried frames, and that they will only fix them if they are scratched or cracked.
