If you have dry macular degeneration, there are two important tests you should be doing. One is an at-home test using an Amsler grid (download one optom.on.ca/amslergrid ), which allows you to self-monitor for any changes in your vision. The other is an OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) test, which your optometrist can perform during your regular visits. Regular monitoring helps detect disease progression and allows for timely adjustments to your treatment plan. #optometrist #maculardegeneratio
