The status of the macula should be included in the preoperative evaluation of patients about to undergo keratoplasty or cataract extraction. Frequently, corneal opacities or cataracts preclude visualization of macular details. In such cases, the Amsler grid is useful in assessing macular function. This study evaluated 15 patients with opaque media. In 13 patients, the opacity was too dense to allow the patient to see the Amsler grid. However, all 13 patients could see the illuminated version of the grid. Of the three abnormal responses detected by the use of the illuminated grid, two were caused by macular pathology and one by amblyopia.
在准备接受角膜移植术或白内障摘除术的患者术前评估中，应纳入黄斑的状况。角膜混浊或白内障常常会妨碍黄斑细节的观察。在这种情况下，阿姆斯勒方格表有助于评估黄斑功能。本研究评估了15例存在屈光间质混浊的患者。在13例患者中，混浊过于致密，导致患者无法看到阿姆斯勒方格表。然而，所有这13例患者都能看到方格表的发光版本。在使用发光方格表检测到的3例异常反应中，2例是由黄斑病变引起的，1例是由弱视引起的。
