Quite a few games these days use chromatic aberration filters as a "wow, trippy" effect and I wish they wouldn't because with my glasses everything not directly in front of me already looks like that.
I've seen cases where something in the corner of the game screen was chromatic-aberrationy and my glasses reverse-aberranted it back to normal.

So they are actually doing something that vaguely resembles correct aberration? That's surprising; I would expect them to throw a few color filters composed with translations and mess with them until it looks nice, without regard for realism -- in that case I'd be very surprised if a realistic physical process could put those colors back together.
@robryk It's only a vague resemblance (it's three channels split rather than full-spectrum). Nonetheless, close enough for jazz in my peripheral vision.
