OBJECTIVE VISUAL FIELD TESTING

Soon we may just be hooking electrodes up to the heads of patients and having them look at a target. According to this article in Ocular Surgery News, Multifocal VEP:
"requires no patient response except to monitor fixation. It is noninvasive, and it can be done in patients with undilated pupils with low stress and a minimal learning curve."
Also:
"mfVEP may be helpful in patients with unreliable visual field results and may detect changes before they are seen in white-on-white perimetry, the study authors said."

Hook me up!
