Macular Degeneration Test

"Lipotriad helps you take care of yourself."

Testing Your Vision With the Amsler Grid

You can check your vision by using an Amsler Grid like the one pictured on this page (below). You may find changes in your vision that you wouldn't otherwise notice.

This simple screening test is used to assess the macula (the center of the retina).  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 doctor is especially interested in the following when testing vision with the Amsler Grid:

  • Are you able to see the corners and sides of the square?
  • Do you see any wavy lines?
  • Are there any holes or missing areas?

If the lines of grid do not appear straight and parallel or there are missing areas, the doctor will examine the back of the eye (macula) very closely.  This test is frequently given to patients for home use to monitor macular degeneration.  When using the test at home, notify the doctor if any changes in the appearance of the Amsler Grid are detected. 

To use the grid:

  1. Wear your reading glasses and hold this grid 12 to 15 inches away from your face in good light
  2. Cover one eye
  3. Look directly at the center dot with the uncovered eye
  4. While looking directly at the center dot, note whether all lines of the grid are straight or if any areas are distorted, blurred or dark
  5. Repeat this procedure with the other eye
  6. If any area of the grid looks wavy, blurred or dark, contact your ophthalmologist immediately
