Abstract
Metamorphopsia (visual distortion) is experienced by patients with macular disease, and is an A-II symptom in the Preferred Practice Patterns for patient history, diagnosis, treatment intervention, and follow-up. 1 American Academy of Ophthalmology Retina/Vitreous Panel Preferred Practice Pattern Guidelines. Age-Related Macular Degeneration. American Academy of Ophthalmology, San Francisco2011http://one.aao.org/ppp Google Scholar The Amsler grid is used to detect the presence of metamorphopsia in the clinic and at home. Patients fixate the grid centrally and note any lines that seem to be distorted or missing. Despite its clinical significance, the prevalence, variation, and progression of metamorphopsia have not previously been reported. This study estimates the prevalence and magnitude of metamorphopsia in retinal clinic patients and provides statistical data to assist in the management of macular disease.
