not have to scientifically prove their findings, however, he knew better. Every experiment or hypothesis Alhazen came up with, he submitted it to a physical test and/or proof using mathematic equations. (“Arab Inventors”) During his wide studies of optics, Alhazen was first to challenge the Greek’s theory of how the light comes out of the eye, and disproved it by proving how light bounces off of object and goes into our eye. To prove this, he studied the eye works itself using knowledge of previous

The patient must have a prescription must be written by an optometrist which states the needed lens power and pupil distance (PD). Lenses in the needed power are either ordered or taken from stock.

Gripping the handle of the lantern between his teeth, he located a large stone sitting in the corner of the room and dragged it underneath the hole.
