Purpose To develop a new tool of measuring metamorphopsia. Methods Fifty‐eight patients diagnosed with macular disease were examined. Images for three‐dimensional monitor were prepared. Macular optical coherence tomography and the Amsler grid test were also performed. Results The sensitivity of metamorphopsia was 66.7% with Amsler grid and 100% with three‐dimensional monitor. The specificity of metamorphopsia was 97.7% with Amsler grid and 90.7% with three‐dimensional monitor. Conclusion The detection rate of metamorphopsia in macular disease with three‐dimensional monitor was significantly higher than with Amsler grid. The three‐dimensional monitor may be used for the detection of metamorphopsia, moreover, they can be used even at home for the self‐assessment.
