Forward looking statements2Any statements in this presentation about future expectations, plans and prospects for the Company, including statements about the potential benefits and future operation of the collaboration with Regeneron, including any potential future payments thereunder, the ongoing development of the Companys sustained release hydrogel depot technology, the development and regulatory status of the Companys other product candidates, such as the Companys expectations and plans regarding regulatory submissions for and the timing and conduct of clinical trials of DEXTENZA for post-surgical ocular inflammation and pain, including our expectations regarding the NDA filed with the FDA, DEXTENZA for the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis, DEXTENZA for dry eye disease and OTX-TP for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension, the potential utility of any of the Companys product candidates, potential commercialization of the Companys product candidates, the sufficiency of the Companys cash resources and other statements containing the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend", "goal," "may", "might," "plan," "predict," "project," "target," "potential," "will," "would," "could," "should," "continue," and similar expressions, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors. Such forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause the Companys clinical development programs, future results, performance or achievements to differ significantly from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, those related to the timing and costs involved in commercializing ReSure Sealant or any product candidate that receives regulatory approval, the initiation and conduct of clinical trials, availability of data from clinical trials and expectations for regulatory submissions and approvals, the Companys scientific approach and general development progress, the availability or commercial potential of the Companys product candidates, the sufficiency of cash resources and need for additional financing or other actions and other factors discussed in the Risk Factors section contained in the Companys quarterly and annual reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the forward-looking statements included in this presentation represent the Companys views as of the date of this presentation. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause the Companys views to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Companys views as of any date subsequent to the date of this presentation.

Intracanalicular InsertExtended and tapered delivery for 30 daysPreservative-freeAbsorbable no need for removalDelivery MethodNon-invasivePhysician-administered with forcepsDEXTENZA (dexamethasone insert) For Intracanalicular Use

Potential IndicationTreatment of ocular pain occurring after ophthalmic surgeryTarget MarketApproximately 5.3 million ocular surgeries in the U.S. in 2015; 27 million worldwide1One-time insert designed to replace complex steroid eye drop topical dosing regimen1 Source: Market Scope

As seen in this short animation, the Dextenza depot hydrates and swells on contact with fluid, releasing preservative free dexamethasone steroid medication in a slowly tapered fashion tailored to last 1month, mimicking a standard drop tapering regimen requiring 70 separate drop administrations that need occur with varying and decreasing frequency as the weeks go by. Because the depot is placed by the physician, there is no concern that the patient may be getting too much or too little medication. In fact, the amount of steroid needed to achieve therapeutic effect with Dextenza is only about 7% of what the eye would be exposed to if drops were used for this same course of therapy.

Depots to scaleOcular Therapeutixs depot technology has been tested with a range of anti-angiogenesis drugs in multiple preclinical models8

Ocular Therapeutix technology provides a sustained release vehicle designed to work well with common intravitreal injection practice and with known anti-angiogenesis drugs

Ocular Therapeutix has recently developed a proprietary technology for a coiling fiber depot that forms a compact shape in situ after ejection from a needle. This is a soft, smooth and lubricious hydrogel, containing embedded drug particles.

Control EyeNo Inhibition Leakage score = 4Fluorescein leaking from vesselsBevacizumab depot showed continued inhibition up to 12 weeks vs. < 6 weeks from single human dose of Avastin (1.25mg) in pre-clinical VEGF Challenge Model.Continued inhibitionProtein anti-VEGF depot suppressed vascular leakage for 3 monthsRepresentative FA images

We have used a modification of a VEGF angiogenesis induction model in dutch belted rabbits to determine if the anti-angiogenic activity can be sustained beyond the normal Avastin formulation. This model uses repeated challenges at various time points following the single injection of the test article - as long as the rabbits remain protected from VEGF. This particular bevacizumab depot was designed to deliver for 3 months.

Target 100% release 4-6 months11Stable sustained protein anti-VEGF deliveryThree anti-VEGF agents showed active release out to 5 months (SEC) in a pre-clinical modelDELIVERY: Meets 4-6 month targetAGGREGATION: Highly stable in hydrogel

We have worked with several antibodies, including anti-angiogenic antibody drugs. The hydrogel has been found to work with a wide molecular weight range from Fab fragments to full antibodies. Aggregation is the first form of protein change seen, in which antibody molecules reversibly join to form mostly dimers, and some trimers. These aggregates are referred to collectively as high molecular weight species. They are not formed from the PEG vehicle. The anti-VEGF molecules we have tested have shown good stability, as evidenced by this low aggregation, which has been minimal and does not result in loss of protein activity.11
