After completing enrollment in the original DEFENDO Study, patients will be invited to enter the DEFENDO Long-Term Follow-up Study (all standard of care is permitted). Two additional long-term follow-up visits will occur at 18- and 24-months to evaluate long-term clinical outcomes. No study treatment will be provided. Patients will be treated per standard of care as determined by the Investigator and will document topical ophthalmic medications currently being administered at time of study participation.
