Amsler Grid

How to use an Amsler grid:

• Hold the grid at a comfortable reading distance (generally, about 12-14 inches away). Wear your reading glasses if you normally use them.

• Cover one eye and focus on the black dot in the middle of the grid.

• Cover the other eye and repeat the test. If the lines appear to be wavy, dim, irregular, or fuzzy, schedule an eye exam immediately.
