Oh, the optician whom made my <*ahem*> bifocals described in great 
detail everything he was going to have to do to make them refract 
correctly.  And why they were going to be so expensive.  He may have 
been shitting me and outsourced them to Asia, but I doubt it.

Optical grinding is kind of a highly-skilled activity.  I was joking 
about the sweatshops.  I more wonder if there isn't a new technology 
that makes it cheaper.
