MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With Vitreous Cell Count of 0Week 4The study eye was dilated and the investigator used an instrument to count the number of visible cells in the vitreous, the jelly-like fluid that fills the back of the eye, using the following scale: 0 (no cells) best, +1 (1-10 cells), +2 (11-30 cells), +3 (31-50 cells) and +4 (\>50 cells) worst.
