Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method for the prophylaxis and treatment of diabetic ophthalmopathy, comprising administering an effective amount of 4-[α-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-(1-imidazolyl)benzyl]-3,5-dimethylbenzoic acid, an optically active compound thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.  
   
   
       2 . A method for the prophylaxis and treatment of diabetic ophthalmopathy, comprising administering an effective amount of sodium 4-[α-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-(1-imidazolyl)benzyl]-3,5-dimethylbenzoate dihydrate.  
   
   
       3 . A method for the prophylaxis and treatment of diabetic ophthalmopathy, comprising administering an effective amount of (S)-(−)-4-[α-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-(1-imidazolyl)benzyl]-3,5-dimethylbenzoic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.  
   
   
       4 . A method for the prophylaxis and treatment of diabetic ophthalmopathy, comprising administering an effective amount of sodium (S)-(−)-4-[α-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-(1-imidazolyl)benzyl]-3,5-dimethylbenzoate 2/3 hydrate.  
   
   
       5 . A method for the prophylaxis and treatment of diabetic arteriosclerosis, comprising administering an effective amount of 4-[α-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-(1-imidazolyl)benzyl]-3,5-dimethylbenzoic acid, an optically active compound thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.  
   
   
       6 . A method for the prophylaxis and treatment of diabetic arteriosclerosis, comprising administering an effective amount of sodium 4-[α-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-(1-imidazolyl)benzyl]-3,5-dimethylbenzoate dihydrate.  
   
   
       7 . A method for the prophylaxis and treatment of diabetic arteriosclerosis, comprising administering an effective amount of (S)-(−)-4-[α-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-(1-imidazolyl)benzyl]-3,5-dimethylbenzoic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.  
   
   
       8 . A method for the prophylaxis and treatment of diabetic arteriosclerosis, comprising administering an effective amount of sodium (S)-(−)-4-[α-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-(1-imidazolyl)benzyl]-3,5-dimethylbenzoate 2/3 hydrate.  
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the diabetic ophthalmopathy is cataract.  
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the diabetic ophthalmopathy is glaucoma.  
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the diabetic ophthalmopathy is retinopathy.  
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the diabetic ophthalmopathy is iritis.  
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the diabetic ophthalmopathy is cataract.  
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the diabetic ophthalmopathy is glaucoma.  
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the diabetic ophthalmopathy is retinopathy.  
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the diabetic ophthalmopathy is iritis.  
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the diabetic ophthalmopathy is cataract.  
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the diabetic ophthalmopathy is glaucoma.  
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the diabetic ophthalmopathy is retinopathy.  
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the diabetic ophthalmopathy is iritis.  
   
   
       21 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the diabetic ophthalmopathy is cataract.  
   
   
       22 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the diabetic ophthalmopathy is glaucoma.  
   
   
       23 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the diabetic ophthalmopathy is retinopathy.
