Macular edema, a build-up of fluid in a part of the retina, is the main cause of vision loss among people with uveitis.

Clearside's late-stage study resulted in nearly half the patients on the treatment showing improvement in their vision. 

The approval makes Xipere the first treatment using suprachoroidal to treat macular edema associated with uveitis, according to Joseph C. Papa, chairman and CEO of Bausch Health.

Bausch acquired the rights to develop and sell Xipere in the United States and Canada In 2019. The company expects to make the drug available in the United States during the first quarter of 2022.
