Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Recurrence of uveitis before and after implantation. Postimplantation recurrences were evaluated using protocol-defined criteria based upon changes in VA, vitreous haze, and the presence of cells in the anterior chamber of the eye.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Between-dose group and within-subject comparisons (Study to Fellow eye) for uveitis recurrence; time to first recurrence; need for adjunctive uveitis treatment; reduction in the area of cystoid macular edema; results of quality of life surveys.
