Clinical manifestations of age-dependent macular degeneration (AMD)
Amsler test with normal retinal findings: the lines are straight, and the fixation point is seen at the center.
Typical Amsler test findings in late AMD: the central fixation point cannot be seen because of a gray spot in the center of the visual field (central scotoma), and the lines appear distorted (metamorphopsia).
