Which limitation arose during the medieval development of corrective lenses, when using lenses with excessively high curvature?

💡 Explanation

Increased lens curvature causes chromatic aberration because of dispersion; therefore it limits image clarity, rather than transmission loss, which is more dependent on material purity and less on the curvature itself.
