Explanation

Answer: B - The correct way to perform an Amsler grid test is to hold it 12 to 15 inches away from the face in good light.

The Amsler grid is a square-shaped graph with uniform lines and a central dot. If a person has certain eye conditions, the grid will appear warped or nonuniform in the central sections. The test is excellent for detecting subtle vision changes and can be done at home daily.
