Did you know that the study of optics dates back thousands of years?
πΉ Ancient Egypt & Greece: Early thinkers studied light, vision and how the eye works.
πΉ 1021: The scholar Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen) made major contributions to the understanding of light and vision, helping lay the foundations of modern optics.
πΉ 1280s: The earliest known spectacles appeared in Italy, helping people with reading and close vision.
πΉ 1600s: The invention and improvement of the telescope and microscope transformed our understanding of the world β from distant stars to microscopic life.
