14. The antibody of claim 1 , wherein:

a) the heavy chain comprises a sequence that is SEQ ID NO: 54; a sequence that is SEQ ID NO: 55; and a sequence that is SEQ ID NO: 56; and

b) the light chain comprises a sequence that is SEQ ID NO: 57; a sequence that is SEQ ID NO: 58; and a sequence that is SEQ ID NO: 59.

15. A method of treating an ocular condition in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically-effective amount of an antibody, the antibody comprising:

a) a heavy chain that comprises a sequence that is at least 80% identical to SEQ ID NO: 30, wherein the heavy chain comprises:

i) a sequence that is at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO: 54; a sequence that is SEQ ID NO: 55; and a sequence that is SEQ ID NO: 56;

ii) a sequence that is SEQ ID NO: 54; a sequence that is at least 94% identical to SEQ ID NO: 55; and a sequence that is SEQ ID NO: 56; or
