5. Poor vision in the study eye.

Exclusion Criteria

Subjects will be excluded from the study if one or more of the following statements are applicable to either eye:

1. Pre-existing eye conditions such as uveitis, glaucoma, or diabetic retinopathy or implantation of a medical device in the vitreous cavity or subretinal space.
2. Systemic diseases that would preclude the planned surgery or interfere with the interpretation of study results.
3. History of intraocular surgery within the previous 6 months.
4. Previous participation in a gene therapy trial.
5. Participation in a clinical trial (investigational drug or medical device) within the previous 6 months.
