Abstract
A device for examining ocular motility of an individual includes a display surface for displaying a fixation light thereon, an arrangement for determining the position of the individual's head, and/or an indicator that can be adjusted with respect to position on the side of the individual to indicate the indicator points, representing his or her subjective visual impression, on the display surface. A position sensor is provided for adjustment and/or detection of the orientation and distance of the individual's head in relation to the display surface; and a sensor mechanism detects and determines the position of the indicator point on the display surface. Data about the position of the individual's head in relation to the display surface and about the position of the indicator point on the display surface are transmitted to an evaluation unit, which processes this information to determine at least one ocular motility characteristic of the individual.
