Abstract: A method for testing the visual functions of a human eye by means of a perimeter which is placed at a location allowing observation, by the eye to be tested, along an observation axis. The method makes use of means associated with a light source for the chronologically staggered generation of stimuli at selected locations in the vicinity of a fixation mark located on the observation axis, and makes use of a camera linked to a computer for the observation of the position of the eye and direction of gaze. The method accommodates the diversion of the subject's gaze and incorrect placement of the subject's eye.
