- Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 8 ]The VA was assessed using original series ETDRS charts or 2702 series number charts.
- Change From Baseline in Central Subfield Thickness (CST) [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 4 ]The average retinal thickness in the central 1-mm area in the ETDRS grid (CST) was evaluated using (Optical Coherence Tomography) OCT
