title: The use of mini- and micro-computers in eye clinical practice.
abstract: In an ophthalmological department there are many sectors in which the use of computers can give useful support. We have singled out three major areas of interest: 1. the rationalization of the flow of patients; 2. the management of clinical records; 3. the automatization of ophthalmological devices. Instead of using different dedicated computational systems we preferred to focus our attention on a unique system based on a minicomputer driving several parallel micro-processors. Preliminary results are given.
