"anaglyph" & buggy eyes

Anaglyph filters bug my eyes which is why I don't like anaglyph.
Sometimes (not often) I wear yellow filters over my glasses to
enhance contrast.  I think their transmission is about like the
Wratten 90 monochrome filter used to judge what a scene would
look like in B&W.  These filters also bug my eyes.  It seems like
the focus is sharp but then it kind of wanders or fades out.  I
saw something the other day (in P3D?) about the eye using its own
lateral chromatic aberration as a focussing aid - I guess the idea
is that it balances the size of the red image point disk against 
the size of blue image point disk.  Is this true?  If it is, this 
could be part of the problem with anaglyphs.  Maintenance of focus
may be awkward.
