Abstract: A perimeter for visual examination has a head restraint and a control panel. Located on a unit base is an optical system, in which there is an optical examination system with an eyepiece. The optical system is movably mounted on the unit base and can be adjusted by means of at least one drive. The optical system can be tracked for precise positioning with respect to the eye being examined. The perimeter makes it possible to position the optical system in essentially any desired position.

Abstract: For purposes of examination, the human eye at a defined viewing point is oriented along a viewing axis. Using means associated with a first light source, stimuli are generated at selectable locations on the background of the viewing axis. Using a second light source, a homogeneous background light is generated around the viewing axis. The second light source has at least one LED. This LED can be actuated as required so that it generates a constant background light or a flickering background light. If at least two LEDs are used, the one LED can generate a colored background light by means of a fixed colored filter. No moving parts are necessary for the generation of a flickering background light, nor any means for the active cooling of the second light source.
