Regular monitoring of your vision will enable early detection and early treatment of the disease, before significant vision loss can occur.<\/p>\n<p>The Amsler grid can also be used by patients at home, to keep track of any new changes in their vision, such as wavy lines or blind spots.<\/p>\n<p>You can find the Amsler grid below, or you can ask your eye doctor for a copy of the grid at your next appointment.<\/p>\n<h2><b>How does the Amsler grid work?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The Amsler grid looks like graph paper\u2014 typically containing black lines on a white background, though sometimes many contain white lines on a black background. In the center of the grid, there is a small dot, used as a focus point.<\/p>\n<p>Testing your vision using the Amsler grid is simple to do. Before beginning the test at home, it is recommended to obtain a baseline of your vision during an eye exam, so you can easily monitor any changes to your vision.<\/p>\n<p><b>Follow these instructions on how to use the Amsler grid for the most effective results:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Test in a room with normal lighting, that allows for easy reading.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Wear reading glasses, contacts, or any other prescribed eyewear.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Hold the Amsler grid at a distance that enables all grid lines to be in-focus, approximately 14 to 16 inches from your face.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Test each eye separately, covering one eye with your hand while testing the other eye.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Focus on the dot in the center of the grid while you answer these questions:\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\">Are any of the grid lines wavy, blurry or distorted?<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\">Are all of the boxes in the grid square and consistently size?<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\">Are there any darker areas on the grid?<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\">Are there any missing areas on the grid?<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\">Can you see all sides and corners of the grid?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Repeat the test with the other eye.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It is recommended to test your vision using the Amsler grid as recommended by your eye doctor.
