We can make diamonds now and we can make them with radioactive waste so they function as batteries and we can make them at the nanoscale. I would like to think that we could make high quality optical glass of we had to and, in the event of a major war with WW2 like supply chain problems, I'll bet we can make the traditional glass optic basically obsolete.It wasn't until late 43 that we really had the bottleneck fixed, and learned how to make good glass...
