چکیده:
Muslim physicians exerted great effort in the path of recognizing and treating eye diseases. In the first step, they engaged in studying, examining, and translating ophthalmology books and articles belonging to other civilizations such as Greek, Syriac, Indian, Iranian, etc.; however, their efforts were not limited to studying and translating the discoveries of predecessors such as Galen, Hippocrates, and other physicians of the civilizations of their time. In the next step, by writing numerous articles and books, they provided noteworthy services to the science of ophthalmology. In the first centuries after the emergence of Islam, ophthalmologists of the nascent Islamic civilization—in both theoretical and practical dimensions—brought about transformations that remained at the center of attention for ophthalmologists worldwide for centuries. During this period, theoretically, new theories were expressed regarding the physiology and anatomy of the eye, as well as the correction of vision defects using the science of light physics; in the practical dimension, noteworthy innovations in the field of medicinal treatments and surgical procedures entered the arena of ophthalmology.
