- Previous enrollment in 0910-extension study evaluating intravitreal aflibercept
injection (NCT 00964795) without early study discontinuation prior to sponsor early
termination.

- Patients are enrolled within 90 days of site activation (all attempts will be made to

the study eye

- Any concurrent intraocular condition in the study eye (e.g. diabetic retinopathy or
glaucoma) that, in the opinion of the investigator, could either

- require medical or surgical intervention during the study period to prevent or
treat visual loss that might result from that condition, or

- if allowed to progress untreated, could likely contribute to loss of at least 2
Snellen equivalent lines of best corrected visual acuity over the study period

- Active intraocular inflammation (grade trace or above) in the study eye, or history of
idiopathic or autoimmune-associated uveitis in either eye

- Current vitreous hemorrhage in the study eye
