... which is typically 2.45 cm behind the lens. The eye’s lens is special in that it can change its focal length in order to focus images from very far and very close onto the retina, which stays 2.45 cm away. The average person with “20/20 vision” can focus on objects at infinity and objects no closer ...

... Aberrations are imperfections in the optical image formed by a spherical lens (or optical mirror). There are five main aberrations: 1. Chromatic aberration. The refractive index of glass varies with wavelength. This results in different focal lengths and image magnifications for different colours. ...

Harold Hopkins (physicist)

Harold Horace Hopkins FRS (1918–1994) was a renowned British physicist. His Wave Theory of Aberrations, (published by Oxford University Press 1950), is central to all modern optical design and provides the mathematical analysis which enables the use of computers to create the wealth of high quality lenses available today. In addition to his theoretical work, his many inventions are in daily use throughout the world. These include zoom lenses, coherent fibre-optics and more recently the rod-lens endoscopes which 'opened the door' to modern key-hole surgery. He was the recipient of many of the world's most prestigious awards and was twice nominated for a Nobel Prize. His citation on receiving the Rumford Medal from the Royal Society in 1984 stated: ""In recognition of his many contributions to the theory and design of optical instruments, especially of a wide variety of important new medical instruments which have made a major contribution to clinical diagnosis and surgery.""
