Abstract: A centering device of a spectacle wearer has a fixation target that generates a flatly extended light field at a measurement location for illuminating an eye of the spectacle wearer. A measurer ascertains a measurement position of the eye when viewing the light field generated by the fixation target. A corrector includes deviation information about a deviation of the light field actually generated at the measurement location by the fixation target from a setpoint light field predetermined at the measurement location, and corrects the ascertained measurement position of the eye when viewing the light field generated at the measurement location, considering the deviation information, to an eye setpoint position which the eye would prospectively adopt at the measurement location if it were to view the predetermined setpoint light field there. A parameter calculator ascertains, based on the eye setpoint position, an optical centering parameter to be determined.
