If you have AMD, a simple weekly routine that takes less than one minute can help you to monitor your vision.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of sight loss in the UK. As it stands, around one in 200 people aged 60 has AMD.

Vision in people with Wet AMD can experience rapid change in vision, but in the more common dry AMD, vision usually diminishes gradually, so the patient may not be aware of how much sight they have lost. A good way of checking your eyesight at home and to determine whether your vision has changed, is to use an Amsler grid.
