To use the Amsler grid, follow these steps once a day, every day:
Wearing any glasses you normally use to read, hold the grid 12 to 15 inches away from your face in good light.
Cover one eye.
Look directly at the center dot with your uncovered eye and keep your eye focused on it.
While looking directly at the center dot, notice in your side vision if all grid lines look straight or if any lines or areas look blurry, wavy, dark or blank.
You have to do this test with glass on
And blinking is allowed
Only small black spot may be normal
But if you have large black field or wavy lines are abnormal
If you have any doubt, please consult retina specialist for further examination
