Eye Test - Macular Degeneration

Age-related Macular Degeneration is one of the leading causes of vision impairment in people over the age of 50. In recognition of February as AMD / Low Vision Awareness month, Lighthouse International urges all of its friends to learn more about low vision, and macular degeneration. Be sure you have your annual eye exam. And in the mean-time, the Amsler Grid helps screen for macular degeneration. Follow the steps below, but note: this test is not a substitute for getting regular eye exams.

Instructions:

1. Conduct the test in an evenly lit room while wearing glasses used for reading
2. Hold the grid 12-14 inches away and test each eye separately
3. Cover one eye completely
4. With your open eye, look at the central dot
5. Keep looking at the dot and answer these questions: Do any of the lines look wavy or crooked? Do all the boxes look the same? Are any of the lines missing?
6. Repeat the test with your other eye

If you answer YES to any question, contact your eye doctor immediately.
