Amsler Grid is a chart of sqares like a grph paper.Ther is one dot in the middle. I was give this chart and asked to check up periodically by concentrating on the black dot. And if i see the lines are curved or there are bleck spots on the small squares i should imiieately go to a hospital or Retina. other doctors will not treat this disease as it involves Intravitral injections,or lazer therapy to seal neovascular region. Ask you doctor a dirct and blunt question whther you are suffering from AjMD?

Sir,
Things apper curved, for example if look at at straight bar it appears as if some one has hammered it. will you pls give me some suggestions as what can be done.
I would see a retinologist/vitreoretinal specialist. Find one @ www.aao.org, or American Academy of Opthalmologists. You can look for a doc by your area/city.
Apparently you have some form of uveitis and if so - steroids either in drop form, injection next to or in the eye, or oral pills are all possible treatment options. I don't know what treatment is right for you because I don't know your case. If you have a qualified ophthalmologist, experienced in this field, then you probably need to follow his instruction or get a second opinion if you don't trust him. I can't direct your care because I know nothing about your case. Sometimes oral steroids are definitely needed - but usually only for a short time which is much safer than chronic treatment.
