"expect," "plan," "anticipate," "intend," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "project," "potential," "continue,"
"target" or the negative of these terms and other similar words or expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Clearside Biomedical,
Inc.'s views as of the date of this presentation about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and changes in circumstances that may cause Clearside's actual results, performance, or achievements to differ
significantly from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement. Although Clearside believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, new risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time,
and Clearside cannot guarantee future events, results, performance, or achievements. Some of the key factors that could cause actual results to differ from Clearside's expectations include its plans to develop and potentially commercialize its
product candidates; adverse differences between preliminary or interim data and final data; Clearside's planned clinical trials and preclinical studies for its product candidates; the timing of and Clearside's ability to obtain and
maintain regulatory approvals for its product candidates; the extent of clinical trials potentially required for Clearside's product candidates; the clinical utility and market acceptance of Clearside's product candidates;
Clearside's commercialization, marketing and manufacturing capabilities and strategy; Clearside's intellectual property position; Clearside's ability to expand its pipeline; developments and projections relating to Clearside's
competitors and its industry; the impact of government laws and regulations; the impact of public health epidemics affecting countries or regions in which Clearside has operations or does business, such as the COVID-19 pandemic; the timing and
anticipated results of Clearside's preclinical studies and clinical trials and the risk that the results of Clearside's preclinical studies and clinical trials may not be predictive of future results in connection with future studies or clinical
trials and may not support further development and marketing approval; findings from investigational review boards at clinical trial sites and publication review bodies; Clearside's estimates regarding future revenue, expenses, capital requirements
and need for additional financing; and Clearside's ability to identify additional product candidates with significant commercial potential that are consistent with its commercial objectives. For further information regarding these risks,

TRIAL DESIGN AND OBJECTIVES Open-label
study with a primary endpoint to evaluate safety and tolerability of escalating single doses of CLS-AX administered through suprachoroidal injection following IVT aflibercept Wet AMD patients with >2 anti-VEGF treatments in the prior 4
months, reading center confirmation of persistent active disease Dose-escalation of CLS-AX (in mg): Cohort 1 at 0.03; Cohort 2 at 0.1; Cohort 3 at 0.5; Cohort 4 at 1.0 Secondary endpoints: visual function, ocular anatomy, and need for additional
treatment Monthly assessment for additional treatment with aflibercept: loss from best measurement of >10 letters in BCVA with exudation; increase in CST >75 microns; a vision-threatening hemorrhage Extension study: A total of 6 months'
follow-up for patients in Cohorts 2, 3, & 4 who chose to continue for an additional 3 months Screening Baseline 2 mg aflibercept dosed at screening CLS-AX dosed at baseline (1 Month post screening) OASIS Month 1 OASIS Month 2 Ext Study Month 4

Why target this patient population
instead of treatment na ve or patients with controlled disease? Patients have a high need for effective therapy with lower treatment burden Minimizes the risk of false signals of biologic effect Facilitates assessment for biological effect in a
difficult-to-treat nAMD patient population Facilitates assessment of an appropriate dose, based on safety and biologic effect Represents a significant number of patients in clinical practice, with >30% sub-responders Supports future clinical
trials Desired outcomes in this heavily treated patient population: Demonstrate safety and tolerability of CLS-AX Maintain stability of visual acuity and central subfield thickness with lower treatment burden OASIS Enrolled Heavily anti-VEGF
Treatment-Experienced Wet AMD Patients Patients were sub-responders with active disease at screening confirmed by reading center Enrolling difficult to treat anti-VEGF sub-responders allowed observation of possible signs of biologic effect while
minimizing false signals Core et at. Predominantly Persistent Intraretinal Fluid in the Comparison of Age-related Macular Degeneration Treatments Trials. Ophthalmol Retina. 2022 Sep;6(9):771-785. | Waldstein et al. Morphology and visual acuity in
