A specific viewing point (10, 41) serves for the positioning of the eye to be examined along a viewing axis (9, 10). Stimuli, staggered in time, can be generated at selectable locations in the vicinity of the viewing axis (9, 40) by means of means (14 or 43, 44, 46, 47, 48) assigned to a light source (13, 42). A space-saving design of the device is achieved by an optical system arranged in the viewing axis (9, 40) between the light source (13, 42) and the viewing point (10, 41). This system is designed in such a way that it generates a sharp image of the stimuli on the retina of a patient's eye oriented in the viewing direction at the viewing point (10, 41).
