Results of automated perimetry (Fieldmaster 200, Synemed) in 1,000 subjects are described. In 17 subjects (1.7%) a serious field defect was found. In 9 subjects (0.9%) aspecific defects were found. Computer aided perimetry was found to give reliable results compared with kinetic perimetry. Since the visual field is of the utmost importance in aviation, while mass conventional visual field screening is not possible, it is suggested that use should be made of automated perimetry testing.
