Abstract
The design and development of today’s optical systems were made possible by a theoretical understanding of optical aberrations. Although the subject is still evolving, serious work spans almost four centuries. In this paper, a historical summary of the development of the understanding of optical aberrations is presented by relating the contributions of numerous individuals. The major events and discoveries are also presented in a time-line format on a century by century basis to allow a rapid overview.
