The first intravitreal administration of an anti-VEGF drug was performed 7.5 (3.5; 9.5) months after AMD diagnosis in group 1 and 7 (3; 11) months after AMD diagnosis in group 2. Significant differences in intragroup intervals were revealed between various follow-up periods. More differences were identified for the intervals between intravitreal administrations in group 2. Baseline and final BCVA during the entire follow-up which was 29.5 (19.5; 38) months in group 1 and 28 (25; 44) months in group 2 demonstrated neither intragroup nor intergroup differences (р&gt;0.05).</i> </p> <p> <i><b>Conclusion</b>: our management strategy for wet AMD is somewhat different from conventional guidelines.
