2 Opening Remarks David Muller, Ph.D. President and Chief Executive Officer Avedro, Inc.

3 Company Overview Avedro is a medical device and pharmaceutical company founded in 2007 Comprised of approximately 100 employees (headquarters in Waltham, MA) Mission: Advance the science of corneal collagen cross-linking to help patients with corneal disorders CC-3

4 Product Overview History of Corneal Collagen Crosslinking Developed in Europe by researchers at the University of Dresden in the late 1990s Riboflavin and UVA irradiation are applied to the cornea Goal: Strengthen the cornea Approved in over 60 countries worldwide Performed internationally for over a decade and has become an accepted modality worldwide for treatment of keratoconus and corneal ectasia Over 75,000 patients CC-4

5 Clinical Study History Three clinical studies started under different sponsorship Avedro acquired rights to UVX-001 data and sponsorship of IND 77,882 (UVX-002 and UVX-003) All patients treated CC-5

6 Clinical Study History Dec 2011/Jan 2012 Avedro finalized Statistical Analysis Plans Extended primary endpoint analysis to Month 12 FDA recommended 12 Month endpoint to original sponsor Review of published literature Supports efficacy analysis at later time-points CC-6

7 Proposed Indication NDA for corneal collagen cross-linking with Photrexa Viscous (riboflavin ophthalmic solution) 20% dextran, Photrexa (riboflavin ophthalmic solution)/kxl System is indicated for the treatment of progressive keratoconus or corneal ectasia following refractive surgery.

10 Disease Background and Unmet Medical Need in the U.S. Rajesh Rajpal, M.D. Medical Director and Founder See Clearly Vision Group McLean, Virginia Clinical Associate Professor of Ophthalmology Georgetown University Medical Center Washington, D.C.

11 Background Cornea responsible for 70% of refractive power of the eye Collagen microarchitecture allows cornea to maintain rigid shape and curvature Orderly structure of collagen fibrils transmits light with minimal distortion CC-11

12 Etiology Keratoconus and Corneal Ectasia Eyes with ectatic conditions develop irregular corneas Keratoconus naturally occurring Corneal Ectasia - Keratoconus after refractive surgery Cornea is structurally weak Progressive deformation leads to architectural and optical distortion CC-12

13 Visual Loss Distortion of cornea optics Aberrations in eye s optical system Leads to diminished visual function Abnormal Corneal Curve CC-13

14 Visual Loss (Cont d) Common symptoms are ghosting, multiple images, glare, halos, starbursts around lights and blurred vision. CC-14

15 Patient Impact Keratoconus is a disease of the young Average onset 15 years of age Life long impacts Visual decline continuing for two decades or longer interfering with education and career Corneal ectasia affects older population Both are progressive diseases Increased corneal distortion and scarring May lead to loss of functional vision and need for corneal transplantation Keratoconus references: Wagner 2007, Olivares 1997, Kymes 2004, Rabinowitz 1998 Ectasia progression references: Pallikaris 2001, Binder 2005 CC-15

16 Current Disease Management Options and Limitations Options Limitations Rigid or Specialty Contact Lens Provide temporary visual rehabilitation Difficult to fit Does not influence disease progression Disease progression limits contact lens tolerance over time CC-16

17 Current Disease Management Options and Limitations Options Limitations Intra-corneal ring segments Not applicable for all patients Does not influence disease progression CC-17

18 Current Disease Management Options and Limitations (Cont d) Option Corneal Transplant Limitations* KC comprises 30% total penetrating keratoplasty in U.S. Required in over 6000 patients/yr 73% of grafts fail within 20 years Potential for multiple transplants Long visual rehabilitation Potential complications Rejection Infection *2013 Eye Banking Statistical Report, Borderie 2009, Wietharn 2004, Geerards 2006, Mohammadpour 2007 CC-18

19 Rationale for Cross-linking Keratoconus and corneal ectasia inherently biomechanical problems causing weak cornea Goal of collagen crosslinking is to strengthen the cornea Increase corneal rigidity Stop progression of disease Improve disease prognosis CC-19

20 Mechanism of Action Interaction of UV light at ~365 nm with riboflavin produces activated riboflavin and reactive oxygen species ( 1 O 2 ) Interact with collagen and GAG s in corneal stroma to form crosslinks ~365 nm 1 O 2 CC-20

21 Mechanism of Action (Cont d) Improves the biomechanical properties of the cornea by strengthening tissue in the anterior corneal stroma Control CXL Tissue Young s modulus increased 4.5X (Wollensack 2003) CC-21

22 Epithelial and Stromal Remodeling after Cross-linking Re-epithelialization process approximately 5 days Epithelial and stromal remodeling several months Irregular epi in KC masks cone CC-22

23 Persistence of Effect Crosslinking trial literature suggest corneal crosslinking has persistence of effect 3-year results: Wittig-Silva 2014 CXL treated eyes and control eyes utilizing same treatment utilized in UVX studies Treated eyes had improvement of -1.03D at 36 months; controls had deterioration of 1.75D» p< year results: Raiskup et al (2014) 34 treated eyes Preop mean 61.5D 10 year post op mean 55.3D BSCVA improved mean 0.14 logmar over 10 years CC-23

24 Challenges to U.S. Patients and Clinicians No FDA approved drug therapy in these orphan populations to treat disease Patients traveling overseas to seek treatment Procedures performed in the U.S. with products that are not approved for collagen crosslinking Device (Non FDA approved international sources) Drug Non cgmp (compounded) Needs appropriate labeling CC-24

25 Unmet Patient Need in U.S. Crosslinking treats underlying problem of compromised corneal biomechanical integrity By slowing or halting progression Avoid risks associated with corneal transplantation Long rehabilitation Rejection, infection Potential for multiple transplants over lifetime Retain sufficient visual function to lead normal lives Patients able to better utilize spectacle correction and contact lens Minimize public health impact and financial burden Leading cause for penetrating keratoplasty CC-25

95 Safety Conclusions Robust safety database for these orphan indications 293 eyes with progressive keratoconus 219 eyes with corneal ectasia Corneal collagen cross-linking was safe and well tolerated over the 12-month study period Two ocular SAEs - resolved Most common ocular adverse events Expected sequelae related to debridement of cornea Corneal haze Most mild or moderate in intensity and resolved over time CC-95

96 Benefit/Risk Conclusions Positive benefit-risk profile of corneal collagen cross-linking Provided clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvements in corneal curvature Cross-linking effective in stopping disease progression Cross-linking was safe and well tolerated Treatment group improved in patient population which would have progressed if left untreated CC-96

97 Conclusions Slows or prevents disease progression Helps keep patients in contact lenses Delays or prevents corneal transplantation CXL would be the first drug-device combination product in the US for the treatment of patients with progressive keratoconus or corneal ectasia Both indications are orphan indications for which there is an unmet medical need in the US CC-97

98 Summary David Muller, Ph.D. President and Chief Executive Officer Avedro, Inc.

99 Phase IV Study UVX-001, -002 and -003 have established safety and efficacy through 12 months Crosslinking trial literature suggest corneal crosslinking has persistence of effect (Wittig 3 yrs) Prospective, Observational, Single Arm Study Approximately 500 study eyes to be enrolled to yield at least 250 evaluable eyes at 36 months Efficacy will be determined by change from baseline in Kmax at 12, 24, and 36 months Safety will include AEs, slit lamp, BSCVA, pachymetry, tonometry, and endothelial cell counts CC-99

100 Conclusion Progressive keratoconus and corneal ectasia are progressive diseases leading to visual loss Crosslinking performed internationally for over a decade Avedro s KXL System approved internationally performed in over 75,000 patients Drug substance and drug product manufactured under cgmp Device is manufactured under QSR U.S. Orphan populations Need approved labeling to guide physicians and patients CC-100

101 Conclusion The totality of the safety and efficacy data from UVX-001, UVX-002 and UVX-003 supports approval of corneal collagen crosslinking in the treatment of progressive keratoconus and corneal ectasia following refractive surgery CC-101
