Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Patients with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
- Patients with visual impairment due to focal or diffuse diabetic macular oedema (DMO), and not other causes, in at least one eye who are eligible for laser treatment in the opinion of the investigator.
- Best Corrected Visual Acuity between 78 and 24 letters in the study eye using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS)-like grading charts (approximate Snellen equivalent of 20/32 to 20/320).

- Active intraocular inflammation (grade trace or above) or infection in either eye at enrollment.
- History of uveitis in either eye at any time.

- Planned medical or surgical intervention during the 18-month study period.
- Uncontrolled glaucoma in either eye at screening.
- Blood pressure systolic \> 160 mmHg or diastolic \> 100 mmHg at screening.
- Ocular conditions in the study eye that require chronic concomitant therapy with topical ocular or systemically administered corticosteroids.
- History of acute thromboembolic event within 4 months of screening.
- Untreated diabetes mellitus.
- Evidence of advanced, severe or unstable concomitant disease or its treatment which may interfere with evaluations or put the patient at special risk.
