Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Visual Acuity [ Time Frame: 36 months ]
    The percentage of subjects with an increase from baseline of 15 or more letters in best corrected visual acuity letter score as assessed by ETDRS eye chart (study eye).


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Retinal Thickness [ Time Frame: 36 months ]
    Retinal images where sent to a reading center for analysis. Some images were not clear/distorted and could not be properly analyzed. This accounts for the discrepancy in the number of participants analyzed.
