Abstract
- The Amsler grid has become important in the evaluation of the 10 degrees of visual field surrounding fixation. Twenty three patients(23 eyes) of macular and optic nerve lesions were surveyed with Amsler grid. Blurred vision and spot in the field were the most frequent first symptoms reported by patients. The test was simple, inexpensive and time sparing. The test was clinically very useful in detecting and following macular and optic nerve lesions.
