Written in the 11th century, it presents a comprehensive theory of vision based on anatomical and mathematical principles.
The book challenges the ancient Greek emission theory of vision, proposing instead that light rays enter the eye from external objects.
Ibn al-Haytham's meticulous experiments and detailed diagrams revolutionized the understanding of how the human eye perceives images.
His emphasis on empirical observation and mathematical analysis laid the foundation for modern optics and scientific methodology.
