Which risk increased as lenses became thicker in early Islamic magnifying instruments?

💡 Explanation

Chromatic aberration increases with lens thickness because of increased dispersion, therefore different wavelengths focus at different points, blurring the image; rather than spherical aberration, which arises from the lens shape improperly focusing parallel rays.
