Amsler's test
Amsler's test is a simple eye examination used to check for vision problems, particularly related to the macula, an area of the retina responsible for central vision. The test involves looking at a grid of straight lines, typically resembling graph paper, while covering one eye at a time. If the lines appear wavy, distorted, or missing, it may indicate issues such as macular degeneration. Regular self-checks with Amsler's test can help detect changes in vision early, allowing for timely consultation with an eye care professional.
