Amsler Grid
The Amsler Grid test for Age Related Macular Degeneration has been used since 1945. The Amsler Grid looks like graph paper, with dark lines forming a square grid. Some versions have white lines on a dark background.
One of the first signs of macular degeneration can be wavy, broken or distorted lines OR a blurred or missing area of vision. The Amsler Grid can help you spot these early. Early detection of wet age related macular degeneration is critical because laser treatment, when indicated, is most successful when performed before damage occurs. Since dry age related macular degeneration can lead to development of wet age related macular degeneration, most patients should use the Amsler Grid.
Instructions for the Amsler Grid
- Wear your reading glasses and fully cover one eye.
- Focus on the center dot for one full minute. First do one eye, then the other.
Call OCLI at 1-866-SEE-OCLI or your Eye Doctor, if any lines or squares are wavy, blurred or missing to schedule an appointment eye examination.
