This application is designed for personal monitoring for vision loss from macular degeneration. With daily use of the Eyecare Amsler Grid, small changes in visual function can be identified electronically that may otherwise have gone unnoticed and caused long lasting damage. The Eyecare Amsler Grid uses proprietary technology to identify any changes in your personal Amsler gird and personally notify you of that change almost immediately. With this information you can get the medical care you need and ideally prevent vision loss with the help of your eye care professional. If you don't have an eye care professional to help take care of your vision needs, this application will.
