—The findings about the diagnostic accuracy of the Amsler grid test for early detection of neovascular age-related macular degeneration suggest that the procedure will not replace regular ophthalmic ...

A recent review found that the performance of the Amsler grid test was not at a level that was recommended for detecting early or dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Age-related macular ...

Purpose Validating the current protocol of Amsler chart grid surveillance for the early detection of subretinal neovascular membrane (SRN) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and investigating ...
