  1. aUnder the HES pathway, once eyes were assessed at HES for the first time after diagnosis of R1M1 at screening they would no longer require surveillance; bUnder both surveillance options, assuming that there was no further surveillance for SDOCT negative results if the clinic grading was R0M0 or R1M0
