Percentage of Participants With a ≥15 -Letter Improvement From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) at Month 12 as Measured by the Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Chart
Month 12

BCVA was assessed for both eyes using the ETDRS visual acuity (VA) chart. BCVA test should be performed prior to pupil dilation, and distance refraction should be carried out before BCVA is measured. Initially, letters are read at a distance of 4 meters from the chart. If \<20 letters are read at 4 meters, testing at 1 meter should be performed. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or VA). Percentage of participants with a ≥15 -letter improvement from baseline in BCVA at Month 12 was reported for both eyes.

Mean Best-Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) as Measured by the Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) Chart in Letters at Month 12
Month 12

BCVA was assessed for both eyes using the ETDRS visual acuity (VA) chart. BCVA test should be performed prior to pupil dilation, and distance refraction should be carried out before BCVA is measured. Initially, letters are read at a distance of 4 meters from the chart. If \<20 letters are read at 4 meters, testing at 1 meter should be performed. BCVA is reported as number of letters read correctly by the participant using the ETDRS Scale (ranging from 0 to 100 letters) in the study eyes. The lower the number of letters read correctly on the eye chart, the worse the vision (or visual acuity). An increase in the number of letters read correctly means that vision has improved.
