*4.7. Outlook*

In addition to glaucoma screening, there are a number of fields where rapid campimetry might be of value. One potential application of the new examination method leads back to the beginning of the text—the COVID-19 pandemic, which has alerted us to the importance of telemedicine. Rapid campimetry is enabled via the internet and leverages the potential of cloud technologies, as a commercially available computer connected to the internet enables rapid campimetry virtually anywhere in the world with very low barriers to entry compared to current investigative methods. Possibly, this novel method could also help correlate morphologic differences of certain scotomas with their cause through more accurate scotoma description: Lachenmayr, for example, points out that in addition to mechanical nerve fibre damage due to intraocular pressure, there is vascular damage with typically classic nerve fibre bundle defects that manifests as arcuate scotoma [18]. Furthermore, migraine is considered a risk factor for glaucoma [27], which raises the question of whether visual field defects associated with migraine aura can be morphologically distinguished from typical glaucoma-related scotomas.
