This is one major reason I'm such a big fan of Nikon and Vortex. They
both repair or replace binoculars of any age, no matter the problem,
usually for free. I once sent back a $250 pair of Nikon binoculars that I
left on the roof of my car and they ended up falling off on Rt. 1 and got
run over by a car. They were 20+ years old, I had no receipt, the model
number was worn off, and I was totally honest with them about how it was my
fault they got crushed. They still asked me to send them in, then sent me
a brand new pair for free.
Swarowski and other companies also do repairs, for a modest fee.
