Arms	Assigned Interventions
1: Experimental 200 μg brimonidine implant in study eye	Drug: 200 μg Brimonidine Tartrate Posterior Segment Drug Delivery system Applicator System at Day 1 in study eye
2: Experimental 400 μg brimonidine implant in study eye	Drug: 400 μg Brimonidine Tartrate Posterior Segment Drug Delivery system Applicator System at Day 1 in study eye
3: Sham Comparator Sham in study eye (no implant)	Drug: Sham Posterior Segment Drug Delivery system Applicator System at Day 1 in study eye (meaning no treatment)

Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:	18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:	Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:	No

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

The macula-off retinal detachment must have been caused by a rupture (rhegmatogenous in etiology)
The repair of the macula-off retinal detachment must have occurred at least 6 months before the Day 1 visit in the study eye
The repair must have been deemed an anatomic success and required no more than one macular re-attachment procedure
The visual acuity score must be between 20/50 and 20/320 in the study eye

Exclusion Criteria:

Any sight-threatening ocular condition in the study eye other than the ruptured retinal detachment
Anticipated need for ocular surgery during the 12-month study period
Any injectable, periocular, or intravitreal corticosteroid treatment to study eye within 6 months prior to screening (eg, triamcinolone acetonide)
Any injectable, periocular, or intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment to the study eye within 3 months prior to screening (eg, Avastin or Lucentis)
Any infectious condition in the study eye
