Introducing partial sum rules for the optical multiplet transitions, we outline a unified approach to magnetic and optical properties of strongly correlated transition metal oxides. On the examples of LaVO3 and LaMnO4 we demonstrate how the temperature and polarization dependences of different components of the optical multiplet are determined by the underlying spin and orbital correlations dictated by the low-energy superexchange Hamiltonian.
