Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Glaucoma or ocular hypertension (IOP > 21 mmHg or concurrent therapy at screening with IOP-lowering agents)
  • Any prior treatment with intravitreal, subtenon, or periocular steroid or anti-VEGF therapy since the diagnosis of RVO in the study eye
  • Any change in systemic steroid therapy within 3 months of screening
  • History of vitrectomy in the study eye
