ABSTRACT:
An eye fixation monitor for ophthalmological examination is provided which is capable of automatically monitoring the eye fixation without the ophthalmologist being required to initialize the eye fixation value. The eye fixation is monitored using deviation signals derived on the basis of the eye image formed on photoelectric transducers. The eye fixation monitor is provided with means for inducing the patient to assume the eye fixation state, and to resume the monitoring automatically after the examination has been interrupted by excessive deviation of the line of sight from the eye fixation target.
