What is another word for optical aberration?
Pronunciation: [ˈɒptɪkə͡l ˌabəɹˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Optical aberration is a phenomenon that occurs in optics when light deviates from its expected path. It can lead to distorted images and color fringes in photographs, telescope views, and microscopes. Synonyms for optical aberration include distortion, blurring, fuzziness, irregularity, and deviation. Other synonyms that relate to specific types of aberrations include chromatic aberration, which is the discrepancy in focus of different colors of light, and spherical aberration, which is the inability of a lens to focus all incoming light to the same point. Although these aberrations can be present in all optical systems, advancements in technology have helped to mitigate their effects, resulting in clearer and more accurate imagery.
