Safety set was defined as all those patients who were treated with at least one dose of ranibizumab and who had at least one safety assessment after study entry and no protocol deviations that warranted exclusion.
The total number of injections is number of injections received since the start of the study in the specific eye.
Patients with bilateral treatment represent the patients who received treatment in both eyes.
SD: standard deviation.
