Abstract in brief

  • Ibn al-Haytham, an Arab-Islamic scholar from the medieval era, was a pioneer in the development of ophthalmology and the science of vision.
  • He refuted the then-popular extramission theory, proposing instead that vision occurs because light reflects off objects and enters the eyes.
  • His influential work, "Kitab al-Manazir" (Book of Optics), laid the foundation for the modern understanding of how we see by explaining that light emanates from objects and enables vision.]
