  • Ability to return for all study visits

Exclusion

  • Pregnancy (positive pregnancy test) or lactation.
  • Premenopausal women not using adequate contraception. The following are considered effective means of contraception: surgical sterilization or use of oral contraceptives, barrier contraception with either a condom or diaphragm in conjunction with spermicidal gel, an IUD, or contraceptive hormone implant or patch.

  • Prior vitreoretinal surgery.
  • Had ocular surgery within the past 60 days in the study eye.
  • Concurrent use of more than two therapies for glaucoma.

  • Has active infection in the study eye.
  • Inability to obtain photographs.
  • Has received investigational therapy within 60 days prior to study entry.
  • Patients with significantly compromised visual acuity in the study eye due to concomitant ocular conditions.
  • Has other conditions the investigator considers to be sound reasons for exclusion (e.g., lack of motivation, history of poor compliance, concomitant illnesses, personality disorder, mental condition, drug abuse, use of neuroleptics, physical or social condition predicting difficulty in long-term follow-up).
