From Christian Beder, an optical designer at Carl Zeiss during an
interview for "Camera Lens News" Nr 36:

"What are the latest trends in optical design?

Reducing chromatic aberrations is becoming increasingly significant.
Digitalization means that anyone can now view their images in
unprecedented sizes. Nowadays we look at an image on the screen that
corresponds to a picture measuring 2x3 meters from a distance of 30
centimeters, which in some ways provides an absurd, unnaturally
enlarged view. It enables users to detect chromatic aberrations on an
individual pixel level that they would never have seen before. So our
job now is to correct these aberrations by using more and more lens
elements and increasingly specialist and more sophisticated types of
glass. So digitalization is also having an effect on lenses!"
