Clinical Details

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Brimonidine Tartrate Posterior Segment Drug Delivery System in Improving Visual Function

Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Outcomes Assessor), Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA)

Secondary outcome: Mean BCVA change from baseline

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: N/A. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:
