| Popis: | Metamorphopsia (visual distortion) is experienced by patients with macular disease, and is a A-II symptom in the Preferred Practice Patterns for patient history, diagnosis, treatment intervention, and follow-up.1 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 appear distorted or missing. In spite of 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. |
