Digital Amsler Grid

Page Type
Product Code
Definition
A Digital Amsler grid is intended as an aid in detection of central visual irregularities caused by changes in the visual pathway in patients.
Physical State
Digital Amsler Grid may be implemented as a standalone software device or web-based system. The test algorithms are delivered by software, which can run on a dedicated hardware platform or on a standard computer platform such as PC, Tablet, smartphone, etc. The software utilizes a visual display, either a commercially available one or proprietary one. The visual display may be a head-mounted display, a tablet, smartphone, a computer screen, etc.
Technical Method
The device presents an Amsler grid and fixation target on a digital display located at a predetermined distance from the patient. The test distance may be determined by the device. The patient self-administers the test, with or without the aid of an eye care provider, by characterizing the perceived image of the visual stimulus interactively. Based on the patient’s responses, the device provides an assessment of visual perception in the central visual field.
