Using the different imaging technology in the diagnosis and follow-up of AMD, whether dry or wet, provides many advantages. The purpose of this work is to highlight the value of incorporating multiple imaging modalities to reach an accurate diagnosis about activity of neovacular AMD, different types of drusen and progression, lesions mimicking AMD and geographic atrophy. Multimodal imaging includes colored fundus photo, near infrared imaging (IR), fundus autofluorescence, fluorescein angiography, Indocyanine green angiography, Spectral Domain OCT, Enface imaging and OCT angiography. The lack of anyone of these modalities can be compensated by thorough interpretation of biomarkers in other available modality. Colored fundus photo is essential to differentiate hard exudates from drusen, near IR photos are valuable in delineating the level of preretinal hemorrhage from intraretinal hemorrhage. Fluorescein angiography helps to detect leakage from a small CNV, OCT is mandatory to diagnose choroidal neovascularisation (CNV), to detect its activity and types of drusen, en-face OCT delineates easily any associated vitreo-retinal traction and drusenoid pigment epithelial detachments (PEDs), fundus autofluorescence has a role in the follow-up of geographic atrophy and lastly OCT angiography (OCTA) is becoming now essential to diagnose quiescent CNV
