Earlier this month, we shared how macular degeneration can affect central vision — but what does that actually look like?
One of the early signs of AMD is distortion — straight lines may appear wavy, blurred, or even missing in your central vision.
An Amsler grid is a simple tool that can help detect subtle changes early. To use it:
• Hold the image about 12 inches from your face
• Wear your reading glasses if you normally use them
• Cover one eye at a time
• Focus on the center dot
• Notice if any lines appear wavy, distorted, blurred, or missing
If you notice new distortion, dark spots, or increasing difficulty recognizing faces, it’s important to schedule a comprehensive eye exam.
Early detection truly makes a difference.
If you’ve noticed changes in your vision, our team at Azure Eye Center is here to help.
