If all fails I can try to make you one by hand.
What would one take as starting material?
Dollar store reading glasses have worked well (plastic thin lenses), I've also used tape cassette cases but they can be pretty scratched up.I use a light bulb and re-wrok station to imprint the bezel outline and the form the curve of the new crystal.
