The Amsler Grid is a simple test that can be used to monitor AMD at home. The grid will alert you to any changes that may indicate a problem or the worsening of AMD. The Amsler Grid looks like graph paper, with dark lines forming a square grid. Some versions have white lines on a dark background. You can download a copy for printing here.
