Abstract
The authors discuss the technical problems commonly encountered in the design of devices used in the functional analysis of the central retina (macula) and its neuronal elements. They present a simple effective solution for introducing some of the most recent and interesting results of neurophysiological and psychophysical research into the eye clinic.
