Selection Criteria:
1. Age 15 years or older.
2. Onset of vision loss based on medically documented history or subject testimony, in both eyes for 181 and =365 days in duration.
3. Each eye of the subject maintaining visual ability to allow at least for
counting of the examiner's fingers at any distance.
4. Female subjects (if of childbearing potential) must agree to use
effective methods of birth control up to 6 months after IVT injection and
male subjects must agree to use condoms for up to 6 months after IVT
injection.
5. Ability to obtain adequate pupillary dilation to permit thorough
ocular examination and testing.
6. Signed written informed consent.
Subjects included in the study must satisfy all the following criteria at
the Inclusion Visit (Visit 2).
1. Documented results of genotyping showing the presence of the
G11778A mutation in the ND4 gene and the absence of the other primary
LHON-associated mutations (ND1 or ND6) in the subject's mitochondrial
DNA.
2. Review of all selection criteria to ensure continued compliance.
3. Have a negative test for infection with human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV).
4. Have a negative pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential (a woman who is two years post-menopausal or surgically sterile is not considered to be of childbearing potential).
Are the trial subjects under 18? yes
Number of subjects for this age range: 7
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes

Non-Selection Criteria:
Subjects who meet at least one of the following criteria at the Screening
Visit (Visit 1) will not be included into the study.
1. Any known allergy or hypersensitivity to GS010 or its constituents.
2. Contraindication to IVT injection.
3. IVT drug delivery to either eye within 30 days prior to the Screening
Visit (Visit 1).
4. Previous vitrectomy in either eye.
5. Narrow angle in either eye contra-indicating pupillary dilation.
6. Presence of disorders of the ocular media, such as the cornea and
lens, which may interfere with visual acuity and other ocular
assessments during the study period.
7. Vision disorders, other than LHON, involving visual disability or with
the potential to cause further vision loss during the trial period.
8. Causes of optic neuropathy other than LHON and glaucoma.
9. Subjects with known mutations of other genes involved in
pathological retinal or optic nerve conditions.
10. Presence of ocular or systemic disease, other than LHON and well-controlled glaucoma, whose pathology or associated treatments might affect the retina or the optic nerve
11. History of amblyopia associated with a Snellen visual acuity
equivalent of worse than 20/80 (equivalent to 6/24 at 6 meters, decimal
acuity 0.25, LogMAR +0.6) in the affected eye.
12. Presence of ocular conditions, which in the opinion of the
Investigator will prevent good quality SD-OCT imaging from being
obtained.
13. Presence, in either eye, of uncontrolled glaucoma, defined as an
IOP greater than 25 mmHg, despite maximal medical therapy with IOP lowering agents.
14. Active ocular inflammation or history of idiopathic or autoimmune-associated uveitis.
15. Subjects participating in another clinical trial and receiving an IMP
within 90 days prior to the Screening Visit (Visit 1).
16. Previous treatment with an ocular gene therapy product.
17. Subjects who have undergone ocular surgery of clinical relevance
(per Investigator opinion) within 90 days preceding the Screening Visit
(Visit 1).
18. Female Subjects who are or who intend to breast feed during the
trial period.
Subjects who meet at least one of the following criteria at the Inclusion
Visit (Visit 2) will not be included in the study.
1. Any non-selection criteria which may have appeared after the
screening visit.
2. Subjects taking idebenone who have not completely discontinued the
idebenone at least 7 days prior to Visit 2. If the subject has not
discontinued idebenone at least 7 days prior to Visit 2, the visit may be
delayed until the 7-day period is complete.
3. Presence, at the time of study inclusion, of infectious conjunctivitis,
keratitis, scleritis or endophthalmitis in either eye.
4. Presence of systemic illness, includ
