Resum

Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen) represents a turning point in the history of Optics, as a key figure in the development of optical theory and an outstanding scientist. Here we summarize his main contributions and their significance, with particular emphasis on Ibn al-Haytham’s reconsideration of the role of light in vision and the intromission model he proposed.
