Brief Summary
This study is researching aflibercept high dose (HD), referred to as "study drug", with an experimental dosing regimen. The study is focused on participants with nAMD and DME that have been previously treated with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) medications. The aim of the study is to see how safe and effective aflibercept HD injections are when given as frequently as every 4 weeks. The study is also looking at what side effects may happen from taking the study drug.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- ≥50 years of age
- History of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) lesions secondary to nAMD in the eye study, requiring continued anti-VEGF treatment, as determined by the investigator.
- ≥18 years of age
- History of DME with central involvement (in the central subfield on Spectral domain optical coherence tomography \[SD-OCT\]) in the study eye, requiring continued anti-VEGF treatment, as determined by the investigator
- Previously treated with ≥3 anti-VEGF IVT injections in the study eye in the 5 months (\~150 days) prior to visit 1
You may not qualify if:
- Evidence of CNV due to any cause other than nAMD in either eye
