Just a little unfair. Opticians make eyeglasses using a limited range of 
glasses and plastics in limited thickness. Their equipment is simply not 
designed to handle what you want.

I did once talk one into making a couple of modest power simple lenses 
to slightly change the focal length of lenses used in a sophisticated 
projection system. I wasntd to get the rear projection images exactly to 
scale.

Yes, there is at least one place doing this. I think someone already 
posted the name. They will separate, clean, polish, reglue and recoat. I 
think I've heard of elements being created from scratch, but the cost is 
simply uneconomic.
