Question about when I was looking at the Amsler Grid?!


Question: Question about when I was looking at the Amsler Grid!?
When I covered my right eye, the lines looked bent on the left side, and a few squares near the central bottom of the grid, closer to the left were curly!.

What could that mean!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You are describing a metamorphopsia!. Distortion in the lines on an amsler grid indicate some type of retinal phenomenon or an optical migraine!. If what you notice on the amsler grid does not resolve within 30 minutes to at most an hour, then chances are it is a retinal problem!. The bilateral nature of the problem means it is probably not injury related but is more likely to be related to some type of inherited disease such as macular degeneration!. If it does not resolve, you need to go see your eye doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Me!. I am an optometric physician!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like retinal problems!. Maybe a detachment or macular degeneration!. Make an appointment with an Ophthalmologist before you lose any more visual field!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
