Brief summary: This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of an intravitreal implant of dexamethasone for the treatment of diabetic macular edema.


Eligibility criteria: Key Inclusion Criteria:

* 18 years of age or older with diabetic macular edema;
* Decrease in visual acuity in at least one eye as a result of macular edema (20/50 or worse);
* Visual acuity in other eye no worse than 20/200

Key Exclusion Criteria:

* Known anticipated need for ocular surgery within next 12 months;
* History of glaucoma or current high eye pressure requiring more than 1 medication;
* Uncontrolled systemic disease;
* Known steroid-responder;
* Use of systemic steroids;
* Use of Warfarin/Heparin
