OPHTHALMIC INSPECTION INSTRUMENT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ophthalmic inspection instrument with which a fine visual field inspection and a front/rear fundus inspection at the inside of an eye ball can be performed. SOLUTION: This ophthalmic inspection instrument having at least one illuminator for generating an optical mark and/or an illumination field whose temporal condition can be changed has an input unit for adjusting an illumination condition, a signalization apparatus for signalizing the recognition and/or no- recognition of the optical mark, an output unit and a control unit. In order to execute a method, the optical mark for fixing the eye of a patient and additionally a movable optical mark whose position, form, brightness and/or color can be changed are projected to an eyeground in order. The sight of the patient can be estimated from the recognition degree of the patient to the optical mark. Since the solution of the above proposal has various possibilities concerning the display and operation of the optical mark and/or the illumination field, the solution can be applied to very wide range. By the execution of fine visual field measurement and the simultaneous observation of a fundus under control and cooperation by the patient, a functional fault at the small portion of the eyeground can speedily and surely be identified.
