Abstract
A new instrument for the monitoring of eye fixation and pupil size during the visual field examination is described. Particular attention has been given to design an instrument adapted to clinical measurements, requiring minimum subject training. co-operation, discomfort and set up time. Relatively free head movements are permitted by the evaluation of eye orientation from the displacement of the corneal reflection with respect to the centre of the pupil. Considerable thought has also been given to the minimising of costs to permit the introduction of the instrument in the ophthalmic clinic.
