How Ophthalmologists Diagnose AMD: Tests You Can Expect

Suspect AMD? Your ophthalmologist can confirm it through several quick, painless tests:
🔍 Dilated Eye Exam – to look for drusen or pigment changes
📊 Amsler Grid Test – to detect distorted or missing vision
🖥️ Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) – to see detailed images of your retina
💉 Fluorescein Angiography – to check for leaky blood vessels (in wet AMD)

These tests help determine the stage and type of AMD — and guide the right treatment.
