The Amsler Grid may be helpful in revealing signs of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It is not a substitute for regularly scheduled eye exams/tests.
Directions
- Do not remove glasses or contacts you normally wear for reading.
- Stand approximately 13 inches (33 cm) from the grid in a well-lighted room.
- Cover one eye with your hand and focus only on the center dot with your uncovered eye. Repeat with the other eye.
- If you see wavy, broken or distorted lines, blurred or missing areas of vision, you may be displaying symptoms of AMD and should contact your eye care provider immediately.
