Early diagnosis by an eye care professional can allow for treatment and prevent any further deterioration.
Amsler Grid Test
Using the Amsler Grid is a quick and easy way to monitor your vision for the early symptoms of AMD. If you think you may be experiencing symptoms of AMD after you have used the Amsler Grid, then you should visit your eye care professional within the next week.
Remember, the Amsler Grid test does not replace the need for regular full eye examinations. If you are aged 50 years or over, it is important that you have a full annual eye examination with a qualified optometrist or eye doctor annually.
