Percentage of Participants With Complete Resolution of Anterior Chamber (AC) Cells
Anterior chamber (AC) cells were assessed using a 0 to 4 grading scale by an ophthalmologist using slip lamp biomicroscopy. A slit lamp examination of the lids, conjunctiva, limbus, cornea, anterior chamber, vitreous, and lens was performed without pupil dilation. Accumulation of white blood cells in aqueous was assessed. The grades were defined as: 0 = No cells seen; 1 = 1 - 5 cells; 2 = 6 - 15 cells; 3 = 16 - 30 cells; 4 = \>30 cells. Complete resolution of AC cells was defined as Grade 0.
Time frame: 8 days
Percentage of Participants With Grade 0 Pain
Ocular pain was defined as a positive sensation of the eye, including foreign body sensation, stabbing, throbbing, or aching. The scores ranged from 0=None to 5=Severe, where higher scores indicated worse pain.
Time frame: 8 days

Percentage of Participants With Grade 0 Pain
Ocular pain was defined as a positive sensation of the eye, including foreign body sensation, stabbing, throbbing, or aching. The scores ranged from 0=None to 5=Severe, were higher scores indicated worse pain.

A slit lamp examination of the lids, conjunctiva, limbus, cornea, anterior chamber, vitreous, and lens will be performed without pupil dilation. Scattering of a slit lamp light beam when directed into the anterior chamber (Tyndall effect). The grades for flare were 0=None to 4=Very Severe effect. Complete resolution was defined as Grade 0.
Time frame: 15 days
Percentage of Participants With Complete Resolution of Anterior Chamber (AC) Cells and Flare.
Anterior chamber (AC) cells were assessed using a 0 to 4 grading scale by an ophthalmologist using slip lamp biomicroscopy. A slit lamp examination of the lids, conjunctiva, limbus, cornea, anterior chamber, vitreous, and lens was performed without pupil dilation. Accumulation of white blood cells in aqueous was assessed. The grades were defined as: 0 = No cells seen; 1 = 1 - 5 cells; 2 = 6 - 15 cells; 3 = 16 - 30 cells; 4 = \>30 cells. Complete resolution of AC cells was defined as Grade 0. Anterior Chamber Flare: A slit lamp examination of the lids, conjunctiva, limbus, cornea, anterior chamber, vitreous, and lens will be performed without pupil dilation. Scattering of a slit lamp light beam when directed into the anterior chamber (Tyndall effect). The grades for flare were 0=None to 4=Very Severe effect. Complete resolution was defined as Grade 0.
Time frame: 15 days
Change From Baseline Anterior Chamber (AC) Cells and Flare Combined
Anterior chamber (AC) cells were assessed using a 0 to 4 grading scale by an ophthalmologist using slip lamp biomicroscopy. A slit lamp examination of the lids, conjunctiva, limbus, cornea, anterior chamber, vitreous, and lens was performed without pupil dilation. Accumulation of white blood cells in aqueous was assessed. The grades were defined as: 0 = No cells seen; 1 = 1 - 5 cells; 2 = 6 - 15 cells; 3 = 16 - 30 cells; 4 = \>30 cells. Anterior Chamber Flare: A slit lamp examination of the lids, conjunctiva, limbus, cornea, anterior chamber, vitreous, and lens will be performed without pupil dilation. Scattering of a slit lamp light beam when directed into the anterior chamber (Tyndall effect). The grades for flare were 0=None to 4=Very Severe effect. The combined score could be at minimum 0 and at most 8, with higher scores indicating worse outcome.
Time frame: 15 days
Percentage of Treatment Failures
Treatment failure was defined as anterior chamber (AC) cell score worsened or remained the same, and the Investigator deemed it necessary to place the participant on rescue therapy. Anterior chamber (AC) cells were assessed using a 0 to 4 grading scale by an ophthalmologist using slip lamp biomicroscopy. A slit lamp examination of the lids, conjunctiva, limbus, cornea, anterior chamber, vitreous, and lens was performed without pupil dilation. Accumulation of white blood cells in aqueous was assessed. Pigment cells and red blood cells are to be ignored. The grades were defined as: 0 = No cells seen; 1 = 1 - 5 cells; 2 = 6 - 15 cells; 3 = 16 - 30 cells; 4 = \>30 cells. Complete resolution of AC cells was defined as Grade 0.
