You are noticing the mild chromatic abberation or fringing of the polycarbornate lens. Try to take it back and insist on 1.56 high index plastic lenses or 1.6. When you look thru or near the center of the lens - no problem. When you look thru the lens near the edge of these polycarb lenses , things are going to look slightly blurry.

But if it was me, I would just keep it until your eye infection subsides and never order polycarb again.

You can also try to put AR on the lenses but in my experience it does not help that much.

Polycarb is 1.56, it's just made worse by the fact it has a low V value. The higher the index of the material used btw the worse the chromatic abberation gets it's just polycarb has it particularly bad. The only way to eliminate it almost completely is to go for standard CR-39 but of course that comes with the price of being thicker. Oh and 99.9% of high index lenses come with an MAR as standard because of these effects and to stop ghosting, it makes a BIG difference, try wearing one of the few lenses you can get without it and then wear one with and I will stake my life on knowing which one you would choose if you were being honest
