- In Eyes With VA Assessment Made ≤1 Year After Onset of Symptoms: Proportion of Eyes With Clinically Relevant Recovery (CRR) of VA (Measured by Change in ETDRS Letters) From Baseline (BL) or in Which BL VA Better Than 1.0 logMAR Was Maintained at 12 Months [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Clinically Relevant Recovery (CRR) is defined as a VA improvement from off-chart (ETDRS) to 5 letters on-chart, or an on-chart improvement of 10 letters.
