The Amsler Grid

• Test each eye separately. Cover the eye that you are not using.
• Keep the grid at a normal reading distance—about 14 inches away.
• Look directly at the dot in the center of the grid.
• If you normally wear glasses, keep them on while looking at the grid.

If you notice blurry or wavy lines, and dark or blank spots, contact your ophthalmologist as soon as possible.
