  1. A treatment visit is defined as a visit where intravitreal aflibercept (IVT-AFL) is administered to the study eye.
  2. A monitoring visit is defined as a visit where at least one of the following assessments is completed for the study eye: ocular assessments such as best-corrected visual acuity, spectral domain optical coherence tomography, non-refracted visual acuity; haemoglobin A1c or vital signs assessment.
  3. A combined visit is defined as a visit where the study eye is treated with IVT-AFL and at least one monitoring assessment is conducted.
  4. A post-injection monitoring visit is defined as a visit conducted following the first IVT-AFL treatment in the study eye, where neither treatment nor monitoring assessment(s) is conducted.
