Great question! I know it seems that the whole industry makes round lenses, but you are probably wearing a pair of glasses with non-round lenses. There are many applications where lenses are non-round. Invariably they are more expensive, since most start out round and then are trimmed to a different shape. Various aspects of optical instruments particularly their apertures make round lenses easier to mount and use. This would not stop anyone from making non-round optical devices when they are needed.
