Did you know that a healthy man gets as much as 98% of all his information through his optic canal? Good eyesight is therefore crucial for our quality of life and should never be taken for granted. Diseases, accidents, and environmental factors are just a few of the reasons we need to correct our eyesight.
Glasses are the oldest and simplest instrument for correcting eyesight; they allow for limitless and fast adaptation to new conditions. An important shift in our understanding of ophthalmologic science was achieved by the Persian mathematician, physicist, and scholar, Ibn al-Haytham (latinized as Alhazen) who published his famous work Book of Optics (Opticae Thesaurus) at the end of the 10th century. With its translation into Latin in the 13th century, the science of optics started to blossom. Glasses first became available for scholars and nobility, and through industrial production, to the masses.
Corrective glasses have been developing constantly over the centuries. Monocles (single-eye lenses) developed into binocles (a pair of lenses). Flawless binocularly symmetric sight is a precondition for success in several demanding professions.
