AB  - PURPOSE: To investigate the changes in imaging tool practice for the diagnosis of 
      neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). METHODS: Retrospective 
      analysis of consecutive patients diagnosed with nAMD in a tertiary care center, 
      over a 6-month period in 2014, 2016, and 2018. Patient demographics were 
      compared. Imaging modalities used in 2014 were fundus photography, fluorescein 
      angiography (FA), and structural spectral-domain optical coherence tomography 
      (SD-OCT), while OCT-angiography (OCT-A) was available from 2015. Imaging tools 
      used in our practice were compared in the 3 cohorts. RESULTS: The 3 cohorts 
      included 163, 99, and 167 patients, respectively. There was no difference in age 
      or gender (mean age 81.7 years). OCT-A images were analyzable in 60.5% and 89.7% 
      of patients respectively in 2016 and in 2018. In the 3 cohorts, all patients were 
      imaged with fundus photography and structural OCT. FA was performed in 70.2, 
      28.8, and 22.1% of patients, respectively. CONCLUSION: This study showed a shift 
      in practice of imaging tools used for the diagnosis of nAMD, non-invasive tools 
      being increasingly used as the first-line imaging, and FA as the second-line 
      imaging.
