visvue

The Amsler grid is a tool used to detect vision problems that may be related to macular
degeneration or other retinal issues. It consists of a grid of horizontal and vertical lines with
a central fixation point. Patients are asked to look at the grid while covering one eye at a
time and report any distortions, wavy lines, missing areas, or other abnormalities they
observe. This can help identify changes in central vision and potential retinal issues.
Visvue is essentially a digital version of the Amsler grid available for smartphones. Visvue is
useful for individuals to monitor their own vision at home and detect any changes over
time. App has features like the ability to perform self-tests, record and track the results, and
set reminders for regular testing. This can be useful tool for individuals with conditions like
macular degeneration, where early detection of vision changes is crucial.
Keep in mind that while this app can be helpful for self-monitoring, it is not a substitute for a
comprehensive eye examination conducted by a qualified eye care professional. If you have
concerns about your vision, it's always best to consult with an eye doctor for a proper
diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
