Subject has ability to understand and sign the Informed Consent Form 4. Subject is willing and able to comply with study requirements

Exclusion criteria

1. Allergy to fluocinolone acetonide or any component of the FAI insert 2. Ocular malignancy in either eye, including choroidal melanoma 3. Uveitis with infectious etiology 4.

Recruitment details

One subject was assigned to the Mk II; however, received treatment with the Mk I after attempted to use 2 different Mk II inserters without success and switched to the Mk I inserter. The data for this subject were included in the Mk II inserter treatment group for ITT population and in the Mk I inserter treatment group for the safety population

Pre-assignment details

Prior to analysis no Subjects were Excluded From the Utilization Analysis (i.e., completed Day 7). 1 MKI and 1 MKII eyes were lost to follow-up at Month 12.

FAI Insert Administered Using the Mk II Inserter
The test article is the Fluocinolone Acetonide Intravitreal (FAI) insert, which contains 0.18 mg FA and delivers FA into the vitreous humor for 36 months, at a nominal rate of approximately 0.2 μg FA/day. The FAI insert will be administered to the study eye as an intravitreal injection through the pars plana. FAI Insert administered using the Mk II inserter
