Abstract: An automatic perimeter wherein the eye to be examined is maintained in a predetermined position to look at an eyepiece which focuses enlarged images of a series of stimuli on the retina. Stimuli are presented by a light emitting diode in combination with a diaphragm and are projected into selected locations around the optical axis of the eye. The perimeter operates without a cupola and is further provided with a system for illuminating the area in front of the eye as well as with a camera which images the eye onto the screen of a monitor so that the person in charge can ascertain whether or not the eye is focused upon a reference point on the optical axis of the eyepiece.
