- Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) by Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Day 57 ]Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) was measured by the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) letter score starting at 4 meters. More letters read correctly results in a higher letter score, which represents better visual acuity.
- Macular Volume by SD-OCT [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Day 57 ]Change in measurement (in microns) in macular volume as measured by Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
- Center Subfield Retinal Thickness by SD-OCT [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Day 57 ]Change in measurement (in microns) in the central subfield retinal thickness as measured by Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
- Investigator's Assessment of Leakage on the Fluorescein Angiogram [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Day 57 ]Change in leakage by investigator's assessment of the fluorescein angiogram
