So, does that actually work out for you? :-)

That part it probably chromatic abberation. I have high-index lenses
in my glasses; the first time I got a set that way -- about 8 years ago
-- white lights fringed *horribly* on each side: yellow towards the
edge of the lens, blue towards the center.
My brain adapted to it, and I don't notice it much anymore unless I'm
looking hard for it, but it took a couple of weeks...
