Checking your own vision

It is important to check your vision regularly for signs of AMD and we use an Amsler grid to do this. You can use this to test yourself.


The grid on the left shows normal vision, the grid on the right shows vision when AMD is present. Cover one eye at a time and look straight at the black dot in the centre of the first grid below. If any of the lines look wobbly or disappear, similar to the second grid, it is important you seek medical help straight away.
