7 Vitargus® for Retinal Detachment & Vitreous Hemorrhage Detached Retina Vitrectomy Surgery Vitreous Hemorrhage Vitargus® is a Vitreous substitute that could potentially be used in retinal detachment and vitreous hemorrhage surgeries to accelerate healing and eliminate the need for a second surgery • Macular Hole • Macular Pucker • Diabetic Retinopathy • Retinal Vein Occlusion • Vitreous Body Injury Healthy Eye Vitreous Humor Retina Detached Retina Subretinal Fluid Vitreous Humor Vitreous Humor Retina Posterior Vitreous Detachment Vitreous Hemorrhage

8 Vitargus®: Solving an Unmet Need • Vitreous is a gel - like substance that helps the eye maintain a round shape and keeps the retina in place during and after retinal re - attachment surgery. • Current Vitreous substitutes (Air, S ilicone oil, O ctafluoro - propane, Sulfur hexafluoride) have disadvantages 2, 3,4 that often lead to medical complications and additional surgeries • Leveraging Vitargus®, the patient does not need to remain in a face - down position and has improved visual acuity, as demonstrated in clinical trials Key Takeaways • Fill up the vacant space after v itrectomy to maintain the eye shape • Provide retina support for preventing re - detachment • Silicone oil, Perfluoron TM • Emulsification • Requires a second surgery to remove • Long - term implant complications Functions of Vitreous Substitute Current Short - term Vitreous Substitutes Current Long - term Vitreous Substitutes • Air, Octafluoropropane (C 3 F 8 ) or Sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) • Readily absorbed • Maintaining face - down position (a week) • Retinal re - detachment easily 15% of retinal re - attachment surgeries fail with silicone oil 1 1 2 3 1.
