      I noticed something was up on the right side of his face but decided it was distribution from the thick lenses…

      …then I looked at the other side and I have no idea what the fuck is going on. Is this a generated picture like that Netflix documentary?

        You have it right, he had thick lenses for myopia, looks like. The edges are polished, so they have a distortion effect when lit the way they are, from above. Looks like his left eye was way more corrected than the left, as well.

        Source: I’m blind as fuck and can relate to this distortion in pictures.

      Bad upscaling algorithm.

      Edit: I shouldn’t say bad, there’s no perfect solution and it’s a difficult thing to make work at all.
