The Amsler Grid is used to help record any changes to vision. It is important to check your vision everyday in both the
affected and the healthy eye to pinpoint any new changes to your vision.

Here is how you use the Amsler Grid: ⁽ ¹ ⁾ ⁽ ² ⁾ ⁽ ³ ⁾

1. If you normally wear glasses, keep them on while looking at the grid.
2. Cover one eye as you check the other eye’s vision.
3. Hold the grid at a normal reading distance – about 35cm / 14 inches away.
4. Focus on the dot in the center of the grid with your uncovered eye and ask these questions:
   • Do any lines look wavy, broken or distorted?
   • Does any part of the grid have blurry areas?
   • Are there any missing areas or dark areas in the grid?
5. Be sure to write down any changes.
6. Repeat steps 1-4 to check the other eye.
