Amsler Grid Test
Please note, this is just a game, it is not an eye exam or substitution for medical advice.
How to use the Amsler Grid
- With reading glasses on, look at the grid to the right at a distance that allows you to get most of the lines in focus; it will probably be about 30-36 cm away – the same as book reading distance.
- Cover one eye and focus on the black dot in the middle of the grid.
- Cover the other eye and repeat the test.

If any grid lines appear irregular, wavy, broken or distorted, or if any part of the grid is blurred or missing, during the Amsler Grid test, it’s important to book an appointment with one of our ophthalmologists as soon as possible, as you may be displaying symptoms of macular degeneration.
