The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method (210), a computer program and a device (110) for determining a visual performance (218) of at least one eye (112) of a person (114). The method (210) comprises the following steps:a) displaying to at least one eye (112) of a person (114) at least one visual stimulus (124) configured to elicit at least one type of eye movements (126) in the at least one eye (112) of the person (114);b) tracking the at least one type of eye movements (126) in the at least one eye (112) of the person (114);c) determining the visual performance (218) of the at least one eye (112) of the person (114) by using at least one first piece of information (220) about the at least one visual stimulus (124) and at least one second piece of information (222) about an occurrence of the at least one type of eye movements (126) in the at least one eye (112) of the person (114),wherein at least a part of the at least one visual stimulus (124) is displayed in a time-varying manner independent of whether the at least one type of eye movements (126) is elicited in the at least one eye (112) of the person (114) or not.The computer-implemented method (210), the computer program and the device (110) for determining the visual performance (218), specifically at least one of a contrast sensitivity, a visual acuity, a color vision or a visual field, of the at least one eye (112) of the person (114) requires less time, reduces stress onto the at least one eye (112) of the person (114), and can easily be performed on a mobile communication device (116).
