Amsler Grid Test
A tool for monitoring changes in your central vision.
How to Use the Amsler Grid
- If you wear glasses for reading, put them on.
- Sit about 14-16 inches away from the screen in a well-lit room.
- Cover one eye with your hand.
- Look directly at the central dot with your uncovered eye.
- While looking at the dot, notice if any of the lines in the grid appear wavy, blurry, or distorted. Are there any missing areas or dark spots?
- Repeat the test with your other eye.
If you notice any changes, contact your eye doctor immediately.
