Anneli Rufus wrote the book on scavenging. Seriously, she wrote THE BOOK (and a whole bunch of others).

She got in touch with me a couple of weeks ago for some advice on internet optical for her prescription (with astigmatism). I hooked her up with some information and a recommendation. We also chatted back and forth for a few days -- the result of which has been edited and posted on the very interesting and deep "Scavenging" blog.
