A little display showing the cause and effects of chromatic aberration, for all you non-scientists out there...

    NoVIcE: White light consists of the entire visual spectrum (Red through Violet light) JusticeFighter: NuclearCreeper was refering to the lense focusing an image onto the retina, not the use of chromatic aberration from the lense

    Yeah there is no white photon. White light consists of red green and blue light. They are just seperated and dont look white anyomere. Therefore white is an illusion, just like pink color.

    NuclearCreeper: No, the eye uses different receptors for different light colours, not the chromatic aberration effect. You can directly see that this is the case because the eye can see the colours of something close by and far away at the same time. If it were to use the aberration effect, it could only see the colours of what you are focusing on.

    Also dispersion causes rainbows

    That is also how your eye works. Light enters your eye and the lens does the same that there lenses do.
