• This is why you should learn how to use the Amsler Grid. If you don't have a grid, bookmark this page and come to visit any time you want to test yourself

 

• See the square box above: Cover one eye and note the dot in the center. While keeping your eye trained on the dot, notice the lines which cross over the rest of the box. If these lines are straight you probably don't have macular degeneration in that eye. Then you should repeat this test on your other eye.

• If the lines are bent or missing you have a vision problem in that eye. An example of an abnormal Amsler Test has been placed below. Note that each affected patient develops their own unique areas of distortion.
