Which distortion increases when a medieval convex lens deviates from ideal sphericity?

💡 Explanation

Significant spherical aberration arises because different zones of imperfect convex shapes focus incident rays imperfectly; therefore, image crispness decays rather than forming a point focus, causing blurred views, and the effect increases with deviations from perfect form.
