8. Treated with any other investigational medication or device within 60 days
9. Pregnant women, women who have not yet reached the menopause (no menses for = 12 months without an alternative medical cause) who test positive for pregnancy or who are unwilling to take a pregnancy test prior to trial entry or are unwilling to undertake adequate precautions to prevent pregnancy for the duration of the trial.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Primary outcome measures as of 20/01/2017:<br>Best corrected distance visual acuity is measured using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) charts at baseline, weeks 4, 8 and 12 (+ or - 7 days). If at week 12 the retina is dry, a further visit will be arranged at week 16 to measure BCVA.<br><br>Original primary outcome measure:<br>Changes from baseline to week 12 (+ or - 7 days) in best corrected distance visual acuity
