Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. History of vitreoretinal surgery in the study eye or anticipated within the next 12 months following Day 1 2. Prior episode of intraocular inflammation 3. Decrease in visual acuity due to causes other than DME 4. Only one functional eye even if that eye is otherwise eligible for the study 5. Ocular conditions with a poorer prognosis in the fellow eye than in the study eye 6. History or presence of AMD (dry or wet form) that is considered by the investigator to significantly affect central vision, 7. Previous use of intraocular corticosteroids in the study eye or use of periocular corticosteroids in the study eye within the 3 months prior to Day 1 8.
