Do you recognize this black-and-white grid with a dot in the middle? It's called an Amsler grid, named after Swiss ophthalmologist Marc Amsler, who developed it in 1947.

Your retina specialist may ask you to look at an Amsler grid regularly to monitor for changes in your vision, which could be age-related macular degeneration ( ).

To check your vision, cover one eye at a time (keeping your glasses on if you wear them), hold the grid 12 inches away, and look at the dot. If the lines appear wavy, dim, irregular, or fuzzy, let your eye doctor know immediately.

With the warmer weather and outdoor activities on the rise, it’s essential to protect your eyes from sports and recreational injuries. ☀️

Here are some tips to keep your retina safe:
- Always wear properly fitting, shatterproof protective eyewear during sports.
- Be mindful of your surroundings and maintain a safe distance to avoid accidental impacts.
- Consider wearing a wide-brimmed hat or sunglasses to shield your eyes from harmful UV rays.
- Stay hydrated and take regular breaks to reduce eye strain during outdoor activities.
- In case of an eye injury or trauma, seek immediate care from an ophthalmologist or retinal specialist even if symptoms are not apparent just to be safe.

Take the necessary precautions to protect your vision and enjoy the outdoors safely! If you're concerned about any eye injury or discomfort, call our office and we’ll get you in and seen right away

If you or someone you know is worried about floaters or flashes, see a retinal specialist to check for posterior vitreous detachment (PVD). At Grassi Retina, we monitor your PVD to ensure stability and provide treatment if needed.

Grace was descending a staircase when her vision seemed off; the wall and banister appeared wavy. She was diagnosed with wet AMD at only 61. Grace chose to contribute to advancing treatments by enrolling in a clinical trial and has become a vocal advocate for AMD awareness. Read Grace's story at www.SeeforaLifetime.org/PatientStories
