Aberrations blur the images projected on a person's retina, degrading his/her vision. They also affect the images doctors obtain when viewing the inside of the eye with ophthalmologic instruments.

Images of the smallest cone photoreceptors in the retina, with colour added to represent the different wavelengths of light used to capture the images after compensating chromatic aberration.

Purple fringing is a common term that you may have come across, and it's the result of chromatic aberration. It’s most often visible along high-contrast areas of an image, such as a tree against ...

Lateral chromatic aberration varies with focal length as the glass elements physically move during a zoom operation. (See Figure 7.) The aberration is generally greatest at wide-angle settings. Figure ...
