Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
With macular degeneration, a commonly used test, the Amsler grid, assesses the patient's ability to accurately see a set of grids.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
With retinal detachment, the patient usually provides a history of a contributing condition or trauma, followed by a sudden visual disturbance, such as flashing light, floaters, or scotoma. The visual defect may advance or progress as the retinal detachment enlarges, but central vision will be retained unless the macula is involved.
