Oh man i had my phone for about a week and discovered the lens to the camera was cracked. I discovered it while trying to take a picture so there was no major event that caused it to break (like a big drop or anything). ggggrrrrrrr. Any suggestions on how to fix? i went to the apple store and they said replacing the phoen was an opt (what?)
The lens is not repairable at any Apple Authorized Repair center or Apple Retail. The only option through Apple would be a warranty replacement at a cost.

Physical damage is never covered under warranty.
Regardless of not dropping it, the lens most likely cracked as a result of undue stress on it. This can result from being in a pocket (especially a back pocket), an accidental bump, extreme changes in temperature, or any number of other things. Cracks in the screen or camera lens, bends in the casing, and other items are never covered by the warranty. When they say that replacing is not an option, I assume that you just mean that they won't replace it for free. Did you ask about an out of warranty replacement. It will cost you but if you rely on your iPhone for pictures it may be worth it.
