    As an amateur astronomer with a strong eyeglass prescription, chromatic aberration is the bane of my existence. I get why they try to simulate a camera, but the more I can avoid the pitfalls of cheap low quality lenses, the better–I already have two of them on my face all the time

      Same, I even pay hundreds of dollars out of pocket to have glass lenses cut because I legitimately don’t understand how people deal with the chromatic distortion and starburst effect that come with the high refraction plastic.

      I mean, I do get it - people just don’t know any better. What I don’t get is why a literal doctor of optometry will look at you like you’ve got three heads when you start asking about the superior optic properties of glass.
