N2 - We study the formation of caustic and wavefront surfaces produced by a tilted plane wavefront propagating through spherical positive lenses. The shape of the caustic surface is a function of the indices of refraction, the geometrical parameters of the lens involved in the process of refraction, and the obliquity angle with respect to the optical axis, as we expect. We provide exact and approximate analytic equations for tangential and sagittal focal surfaces and also for Petzval field curvature considering arbitrary lenses.
