Sadly the inescapable physical truth of convex vs concave lensing still relentlessly holds its tenacious grip on reality, despite the billions of dollars these folks have accumulated they have still, thus far, been unable to alter that particular aspect of reality.
The only solution I can offer for Jeff Bezos is to begin forming his skull inwards somewhat so that any captured light can reach a proper focusing point. As as astronomer with some experience with such reflective optical surfaces, I'd be happy to begin the grinding and polishing process for you at any time, I'll just need you to hold him still while I work. It's a very precise process.
I assume his head is mostly thick skull surrounding empty space anyway, so I think there should be little harm done.
