Abstract

Device for measuring eye movements. At least two radiation sources are located in front of the eyes and at least two radiation detectors are adapted to detect the radiation reflected from the eye, whereby the detectors are located in connection with the radiation sources. In accordance with the invention the radiation sources (3,4) and the detectors (5,6) are disposed in pairs so that one pair is arranged on each side of at least one symmetry plane through the centered eye. The at least two pairs are disposed on a diaphragm (1) which is located at a certain distance from the eye (8) and which is provided with an aperture (2) straight opposite to the eye having a certain form and size thereby to permit the eye to look through the aperture within a certain space angle. A shielding member (7) is disposed aroused the diaphragm and the eye in order to prevent disturbing light from impinging into the eye beyond the light falling through the aperture. Electronic means (11-20) are arranged to detect the radiation which is reflected from the eye and incident against the detector to adjust the radiation from the sources in such a way the radiation intensity detected by each detector will be …
