Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: 18 years or older BCVA of ≥ 24 and ≤ 73 letters (20/40 or worse but at least 20/320) by an ETDRS chart. BCVA of the non-study eye must be no worse than 20/400) Diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, type 1 or 2 with non-proliferative or non-high risk proliferative diabetic retinopathy. DME based on investigator's clinical evaluation and demonstrated on fundus photographs, fluorescein angiograms, and spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) Mean foveal thickness of at least 300 µm by SD-OCT Ability and willingness to comply with the treatment and follow-up procedures Ability to understand and sign the informed consent form Intraocular pressure of ≤ 21 on 2 or less IOP lowering medications Exclusion Criteria: Pregnant patients, currently lactating patients, or females of childbearing potential (unless using reliable contraception such as double barrier, surgical sterilization, oral contraceptives, intrauterine device (IUD), etc.) Allergy or hypersensitivity (known or suspected) to fluorescein or any component of the investigational product or delivery system Any ocular surgery in the study eye within 12 weeks of screening Any history of vitrectomy in the study eye Aphakia in the study eye Presence of severe foveal ischemia, defined as foveal avascular zone (FAZ) of >1.5 mm2 on OCT-Angiography Prior intraocular or periocular treatment for DME Macular laser for the treatment of diabetic macular edema within 12 weeks of screening Any change in systemic steroidal therapy within 3 months of screening Retinal or choroidal neovascularization due to ocular conditions other than diabetic retinopathy History or presence of viral disease of the cornea or conjunctiva History or presence of any disease or condition that in the investigator's opinion would preclude study treatment or follow-up or that in the opinion of the investigator would render them as unlikely to benefit from study treatment. Any lens or corneal opacity which impairs visualization of the posterior pole Participation in another clinical trial within 12 weeks before the screening visit or during the study Expectation that subject will be moving away from the area of the clinical treatment center without the ability to return for visits within the study period
