How does the eye correct chromatic aberration?!
Question: How does the eye correct chromatic aberration?
What does the human eye do to correct/compensate for the chromatic aberration it experiences so that we don't see any when we look at the world around us?
Answers:
Basically the cornea (clear front part of the eye) is shaped like a bell shaped curve. It is not a sphere but a parabola, it gets flatter toward the edge and thus corrects for both spherical and chromatic aberration.

I have also been wondering about this mainly because as an artist one of my eyes sees more blues, while the other sees more reds. I always wonder, what is life really like (I think I prefer the bluer one). And I am not talking about color blindness.
Seriously, what if we all see different shades, and call it the same color?
Anyway, I found that this site was pretty helpful, so I am sharing it:

According to this site, the eye actually does not perceive correctly. They have attempted to correct the chromatic aberration. However, it is not very necessary due to the eye’s lower sensitivity to light at the extremes of the visible spectrum, where the effects of chromatic defocus would play the largest role. <<<got that off of that site :)
So yeah, although we do not see it correctly, our eyes are less sensitive in the areas where the perceived difference varies the most.
Hope this helps.
Csimon is right but the nerve cells in the retina also get rid of any aberations.
