Test Your Vision

The key to AMD is an early diagnosis so that treatment and preventative measures can begin as early as possible.

An Amsler grid is a useful tool for monitoring your central visual field. It is an important way to detect early and sometimes subtle visual changes in a variety of macular diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema. It is also helpful in monitoring changes in vision once they have been detected.

The Amsler Grid consists of evenly spaced horizontal and vertical lines printed on black or white paper. A small dot is located in the center of the grid for fixation. While staring at the dot, the patient looks for wavy lines and missing areas of the grid.

The chart below is an example of the test used by eye doctors, however it does not replace a full eye exam. Please click on the box to the left for a free Amsler Grid magnet to be used at home.
