Many ophthalmologists employing standard automated perimetry (SAP) – the gold standard test for glaucoma - see a number of shortcomings including the subjective and variable nature of the current test. Ophthalmologists need a solution that is less expensive and more effective in diagnosing patients with glaucoma to treat sooner and follow-up more accurately.

Global equipment manufacturers are actively seeking innovative and better products to replace their perimetry product lines that have reached market saturation.

Payers in the US and especially in developing countries are interested in finding practical solutions for screening at risk populations without incurring the heavy investments typical of SAP machines.
