Amsler Grid
Use of the Amsler Grid is helpful in catching blind spots or distortion caused by macular degeneration. It is also useful in monitoring the vision when taking certain medications.
|
• |
View the grid in a well illuminated area using your normal optical correction (glasses or contact lenses, and reading glasses or bifocals if applicable). |
• |
Hold the grid at normal reading distance (16 inches), and cover one eye at a time. |
• |
Look at the center dot in the grid. |
• |
While staring at the central spot, see if there is any distortion of lines, or any missing lines on the chart. Be sure that the spot itself does not disappear when looked directly at. |
• |
If there is an abnormality or a change in an existing abnormality when observing the grid, report this to your eye physician. |
