Abstract
In the realm of fabrication of optical elements, one often overlooks one of the largest sources of optical components; the ophthalmic optician. Within the tolerances which the ophthalmic optician can operate, he can provide finished elements very quickly and inexpensively. Additionally, the ophthalmic optician routinely makes toric surfaces, a service which more conventional optical fabrication facilities cannot provide.
