• Difference of \<10% in ECD at screening between the 2 eyes as measured by specular microscopy and determined by the independent reading center
• Availability of historical visual acuity (VA) data and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Additionally, fluorescein angiography or color fundus photography can both be used to support participant eligibility per protocol at investigator discretion
• Availability of comprehensive historical anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injection data, including agent administered and date of administration from the time of diagnosis, or for at least 2 years prior to screening if diagnosis was made more than 2 years before screening

• Response to at least two prior anti-VEGF IVT injections as determined by the investigator based on the following:

  • Overall decrease in nAMD disease activity detected on historical or screening OCT
  • Stable or improved best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA)
• BCVA of 34 letters (approximate 20/200 Snellen equivalent) or better, using Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart at a starting distance of 4 meters at screening and enrollment
• All subtypes of nAMD lesions are permissible
• nAMD lesions at the time of diagnosis must involve the macula
• Sufficiently clear ocular media and adequate pupillary dilation to allow for clinical examination and analysis and grading by the central reading center of SD-OCT images

Macular Neovascularization Lesion (MNV) Characteristics

Study Eye:

• Subfoveal fibrosis or subfoveal atrophy

Either Eye:

• MNV due to other causes, such as ocular histoplasmosis, trauma, or pathologic myopia

• Preoperative refractive error that exceeds 8 diopters of myopia, for participants who have undergone prior refractive or cataract surgery
• Spherical equivalent of the refractive error demonstrating more than 5 diopters of hyperopia
• Preoperative refractive error that exceeds 5 diopters of hyperopia, for participants who have undergone prior refractive or cataract surgery
• Uncontrolled ocular hypertension or glaucoma and any such condition the investigator determines may require a glaucoma-filtering surgery during a patient's participation in the study
• Scleral pathology in the superotemporal quadrant (e.g., scleral thinning or calcification)
• Conjunctival pathologies in the superotemporal quadrant
• History or presence of severe posterior blepharitis, recurrent chalazia or hordeolum, severe dry eye syndrome, or severe allergic conjunctivitis
• Ectropion, entropion or other impairment of the upper or lower eyelid impacting lid functionality needed to protect the ocular surface from exposure

• Lagophthalmos or incomplete blink
• Active or history of facial nerve palsy/paresis

Fellow (Non-Study) Eye:

• Concurrent or history of PDS implantation

Either Eye:

• Aphakia or absence of the posterior capsule
