Commonly asked questions
The benefits of the Amsler Grid assessment include: detecting early signs of macular degeneration, monitoring changes in vision over time, assessing how well vision treatments work, and providing patients with a reliable self-administered test at home.
The Amsler Grid Chart is scored by comparing the patient's results with a standard grid. The patient must identify any distortions or changes in their vision and mark them on the grid. Any discrepancies between the patient's results and the standard grid are recorded and will help identify any developing problems or changes in vision.
