There are so-called aspheric lenses which will focus light better, but
only light that is exactly on the optical axis.
But I recently read an article about a gradient index sphere that
should focus light coming from any direction. The trick here is that
the lens has a different index of refraction at its center than at its
edge. Very interesting, but pretty hard to model in POV.
