At the American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting in 1978, we presented a set of goals for future development in automated perimetry.¹ The following are those goals with a few revisions:

1. Precise detection and assessment of all forms of visual field loss in conjunction with a clinically acceptable false-positive rate.
   
2. Accurate monitoring of progressive visual field loss.
   
3. Standardization of stimulus conditions for various test procedures with easily interpreted data representation.
   
4. Electronic monitoring of eye movements.
   
5. Reduction in examination time.
   
6. Administration of testing procedures by individuals with little or no perimetric training.
   
7. A reliable machine at a reasonable purchase price.
