2. Have a known hypersensitivity to salicylates (i.e., aspirin) or to other non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
3. Have intraocular inflammation (i.e., cells or flare in the anterior chamber as measured on slit lamp examination) in the study eye at the screening visit.
4. Have a known blood dyscrasia or bone marrow suppression, a diagnosis of uncontrolled/unstable peptic ulcer disease, inflammatory bowel disease, or ulcerative colitis, or any uncontrolled/unstable pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, autoimmune, hepatic, renal, or central nervous system disease.

9. Have used topical, ocular, inhaled or systemic steroids within 14 days prior to screening.
