If you want it to look realistic (speaking of refractions
here), you want the objects to overlap, POV handles
the refraction-changes properly then.
As about your other problem, I guess the exported meshes
don't fit as you might want them to, otherwise I don't think
POV would come up with this nice and regular spherical
pattern.
