Abstract
Although the human eye exhibits ~2 diopters of longitudinal chromatic aberration, attempts at correcting this aberration with achromatizing lenses have failed to improve visual resolution, and such corrections are rarely used in spatial vision experiments. Recently, however, it has become common practice to use achromatizing lenses when viewing color-modulated isoluminant patterns because uncorrected chromatic aberrations introduce unwanted luminance artifacts into the retinal image.
