Proper Macular Degeneration Test

with Free Macular Degeneration Grid

A proper macular degeneration test is performed by an eye care professional, such as an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist. The eye doctor will closely examine the integrity of the tissue at the macular of the eye and recommend action if there are any abnormalities. The photo below shows an obvious example of drusen - the lumps in the retina that distort your vision.

Compare that to a photo of a healthy eye here: healthy retina 01

This retina is all nice and pink. There are no drusen visible, the yellow spots that are so visible in the other photo.

If you see wavy, distorted or broken lines you may be displaying symptoms of Macular Degeneration. Contact your eyecare provider immediately.
