Optical aberration

Optical aberration refers to the distortion or blurring of images caused by imperfections in lenses or mirrors. When light passes through these optical devices, it may not focus correctly, leading to issues like blurriness, color fringing, or distorted shapes. Different types of aberrations exist, such as spherical aberration and chromatic aberration. These imperfections can affect everything from cameras to glasses, making it harder to see clear images. Advances in optical technology and design help to reduce these aberrations, improving visual clarity and quality in various applications, from photography to vision correction.
