In recent years, the eyesight of the elderly is getting worse, especially the right eye is almost blind, and they can only live on the left eye.

A year ago, the old man's left eye looked a little fuzzy, and there was a tuft of black shadows.

　　One day in mid-April, when she woke up from an afternoon nap, Grandma Zhang suddenly found that she couldn't see her eyes.

The family hurriedly sent the old man to Wuhan Aige Eye Hospital for medical treatment.

The director of the ophthalmology department of the hospital, Zhang Qi, found after examination that Grandma Zhang had cataracts in her eyes, but the elderly suddenly invisible because of age-related macular degeneration, which was caused by the sudden rupture of new blood vessels in the macular area and massive bleeding.

　　Director Zhang Qi recommended a method of self-examination for age-related macular degeneration.

　　Look at the table on the right, block one eye with your hand, and test the other eye. You can look at the center of the small grid at a distance of 33 cm. Specific observations: 1. Are the lines distorted?

2. Are the squares equal in size?

3. Is the grid clear?

4. Are there any missing squares?
