Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to define a safe and effective dose of iontophoretic delivery of dexamethasone phosphate ophthalmic solution using the EyeGate® II Drug Delivery System in patients with non-infectious anterior segment uveitis.

Detailed description

This is a randomized, double-masked, parallel group, dose-comparison, exploratory study of four doses of iontophoretic delivery of dexamethasone phosphate ophthalmic solution in patients with non-infectious anterior segment uveitis. The current study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of this technology at the four dose levels to determine a safe effective dose appropriate for future trials.
