【實用醫療app】AMD Test|最夯免費app-綠色工廠好玩App

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a medical condition which usually affects older adults and results in a loss of vision in the center of the visual field because of damage to the retina. It is a major cause of blindness and visual impairment in older adults (>50 years). When severe scarring at the macula has already occurred, vision is unlikely to recover. Therefore early detection of AMD means by leading a healthy lifestyle, you can reduce your risk of developing AMD.

This app can help you test AMD. It uses Amsler Grid, which is a grid of horizontal and vertical lines used to monitor a person's central visual field. The grid was developed by Marc Amsler, a Swiss ophthalmologist. In Amsler grid test, the person looks with each eye separately at the small dot in the center of the grid. Patients with macular disease may see wavy lines or some lines may be missing. The test is one of the simplest and most effective methods for patients to monitor the health of their macular.
