With opacification of the refractive medium (such as apparent cataract) or pupillary constriction that significantly interferes with vision testing or evaluation of the anterior segment and fundus in the study eyes.
With rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, macular hole, or choroidal neovascularization (CNV) of any cause other than AMD (eg, fundus angioid streaks, ocular histoplasmosis, pathologic myopia, trauma) in study eyes.
