1st Answer:
They weren't made. They hadn't been invented yet.
2nd Answer:
Optical lenses go back almost to prehistory. We have record of Nero using one to watch games. Some of the important laws governing their shape were known to Arab scientists in the 10th century. Glasses were being made in Europe by the end of the 13th century, and there are numerous medieval pictures of people using them.
According to articles I have read, the lenses for medieval glasses were produced on pole lathes. There are links below to the history sections of articles on lenses and glasses. There is also a link to an article on pole lathes.

Did they have glass cups in medievil times?
It depends who you mean by "they". Glass was not widely available during the Anglo-Saxon period, except for the most wealthy who had drinking vessels of green glass. Small bottles, beakers and other items were made of green glass through the medieval period, but it was always very expensive and out of the reach of most people - much of it was imported from the Middle East, Italy and other parts of Europe. By the late medieval period clear glass was being made, but it was still something too expensive for ordinary folk. Very little glass has survived for the medieval era, except in Church contexts where painted or stained glass was used frequently in windows. See links below for images:
