Blue glow around objects. Chromatic aberration?

I'm seeing a blue glow/halo around the edges of bright objects on dark backgrounds (i.e when looking at the moon, reading subtitles, street lights, etc).

This occured around 8 years ago (I'm 27 years old now), and it hasn't gotten any better or worse since then.

I've seen four different ophthalmologist and they've all told me that my eyes are perfectly fine. They've ruled out any serious diseases.

I used to wear contact lenses and tried switching to glasses a year ago, but it didn't make any difference.

I'm tired of doctors shaking their heads in disbelief when I tell them what's going on. I've spent hours and hours searching for answers online but I can't find anything useful.

Any input/knowledge on this is greatly appreciated!

Use the search feature and archives. There have been several posts of almost identical observations in the last 4-6 months. All by healthy young people with multiple normal eye exams and many having the problem for years. Chromatic aberrations awareness seems to be the most common denominator.
