I can’t speak to glasses, but limiting chromatic aberration in the binocular world does seem to involve coatings (at least as Swarovski, Leica, Zeiss present it).

You can’t eliminate chromatic aberration with coatings, it’s a physical property of how the lens interacts with light. The only way to fix it is to adjust your lens types or materials. Zeiss’ current marketing seems to agree https://www.zeiss.com/consumer-products/us/nature-observatio...

Coatings are still very useful to reduce other lens artefacts though.

If you cut some wavelengths, you won't get their contribution to the distortions ;)
