It's strange. I have a high index but ... seeing rainbows? I can't relate to this. Why is that? For me, only blue LED'e shift slightly,


It's worse with stronger prescriptions, if that explains anything. And it has in general gotten a lot better in the past 10-20 years or so, so if you're looking through a current pair it may be quite different.

Currently, if I look at any sharp contrast edge in daylight and turn my head a few degrees, it'll be lightly fringed by either blue or orange. In the dark with a three-color RGB LED projecting "white" (rather than a broad-spectrum white source) I can get fairly clearly separated dots of different colors closer to the edges of my lens.


Have you tried contact lenses? I wouldn't mind, but I can't focus properly and read with contact lenses. With normal glasses that's never an issue.


They consistently glue themselves to my eye if I don't use eye drops literally every single hour. Miss it once and it might take a half hour to loosen and peel them off.

Not really an option unfortunately, my eyes are apparently too dry.
