Baseline and change from baseline at 6 months in central subfield thickness. Central subfield thickness (CST) is a diagnostic measurement used in identifying the presence of edema in the circular area 1 mm in diameter centered around the fovea. CST was measured using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). A masked reading center graded the SD-OCT digital images. A negative change from baseline value represents a reduction in macular edema.

Baseline and Change from baseline at 6 months in best corrected visual acuity before and after treatment Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) refers to the measurement of the best possible vision that can be achieved following refraction or correction. BCVA was assessed following the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) protocol and was measured as the number of letters read correctly on an ETDRS eye chart. A positive change from baseline value represents an improvement in vision.
