Safety population (n = 95) defined as all patients who received ≥ 1 dose of belamaf

BCVA best-corrected visual acuity, CTCAE v4.03 Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03, KVA keratopathy and visual acuity, MECs microcyst-like epithelial changes

aMEC and BCVA change grade based on KVA scale (Table 1) with MEC + BCVA grade based on the highest grade for either MECs or BCVA change per KVA scale. Blurred vision and dry eye graded based on CTCAE v4.03

bData for ≥ grade 2 events per KVA scale

cRecovery of MECs was defined as an event that was deemed clinically stable by the eye care professional. Clinical stability was defined as any grade 1 exam finding (per KVA scale) or no exam finding, and either a one-line decline in vision or no change in vision when compared with baseline

dDose delays and reductions were based on the grade for MECs + BCVA change

eIncluded preferred terms vision blurred, visual acuity reduced, visual impairment, diplopia
