The chromatic aberration expected during a normal eye exam is about a half diopter difference between red and green. This can be a handy test to dial in a final prescription by looking at text on red and green backgrounds and seeing which is clearer. | The chromatic aberration expected during a normal eye exam is about a half diopter difference between red and green. This can be a handy test to dial in a final prescription by looking at text on red and green backgrounds and seeing which is clearer. For a [[Full Prescription]], if the green side is clearer, a quarter diopter of sphere is added, if the red side is clearer, a quarter diopter is removed. If the optometrist is trying to introduce a small amount of [[Myopic defocus]] he/she wants the red side clear. | ||
