Optical aberrations are flaws in image formation due to light's interaction with lenses and mirrors, leading to chromatic and monochromatic distortions. These imperfections, such as blurring, color fringing, and misshapen images, affect everyday visuals and precision instruments. Corrective techniques like aspheric lenses and adaptive optics are employed to enhance image clarity in fields ranging from photography to astronomy.
