Amsler grid testing: Can reveal changes to the macula. The macula is the central portion of the retina responsible for your central vision. The most common uses for amsler grid testing at home or in the office is to monitor for changes in patients with age-related macular degeneration. The test is subjective and not highly reliable, but still a valuable tool in our fight against macula disease.

Macula: An amsler grid is designed to detect pathology in the macula or central retina. It is commonly used to monitor macular degeneration but other conditions that affect the macula can be monitored this way as well.
