Intravitreal injections were administered at 5 mg/eye per dose on days 8 and 22. The implant preloaded with approximately 0.1 mg and 0.3 mg of GW766994 were intended to release approximately 0.002 and 0.010 mg per day, respectively. Both devices were implanted on day 1. Animals dosed topically were given eye drops twice daily (0.5 mg/eye per dose), with doses approximately 8 hours apart, on days 1 to 29. n = 6 eyes analyzed for each bilateral treatment, n = 3 eyes analyzed for the single-eye treatment.
