Aye but light, being a wave, doesn’t travel at the same speed in every medium. In a high refractive index media the wavelengths of visible light would be shorter. Would this not reduce the effect of diffraction on them for normal-sized pupils?
The light diffracts before it reaches the lens so this wont help. Also, refraction doesnt change the wavelength of light, it just takes time to bounce and re-emit through the medium.
