In the device and method, the angle of incidence of slit light onto an eye to be examined is determined from its Purkinje reflection recorded in an image by measuring the offset from the reflection to the apex of the image of the cornea. In another embodiment, Purkinje reflections of light sources arranged around the optical axis of the microscope are correlated with a reference pattern of radial stripes in order to determine the offset between the optical axis and the apex of the eye.
