Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in BCVA From Baseline to Week 24 - Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) [ Time Frame: At week 24 ]

    Visual function of the study eye was assessed using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) protocol at 4 meters. Measurements were taken at every study visit.

    Missing values were imputed with post-baseline values during on-treatment period by using last observation carried forward (LOCF).



Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in BCVA From Baseline to Week 52 - LOCF [ Time Frame: At week 52 ]
    Visual function of the study eye was assessed using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) protocol at 4 meters. Missing values were imputed with post-baseline values during on-treatment period by using last observation carried forward (LOCF).

  2. Participants With Gains in ETDRS Letter Score of at Least 15 Letters - LOCF [ Time Frame: At week 24 and week 52 ]
    Missing values were imputed with post-baseline values during on-treatment period by using last observation carried forward (LOCF).

  3. Change From Baseline in Central Retinal Thickness (CRT) as Assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) - LOCF [ Time Frame: At week 24 and week 52 ]
    Retinal thickness was evaluated using OCT at every visit except week 1. Missing values were imputed with post-baseline values during on-treatment period by using last observation carried forward (LOCF).

  4. Number of Focal Laser Treatments [ Time Frame: Week 1 to week 48 ]
