`

`
`Docket No. 17618CON6B (AP)
`
`Amendments to the Specification
`
`Please replace page 1, lines 5-10 of the specification filed herewith with the following
`amended paragraph:
`This application is a continuation of copending U.S. Application Serial No.
`13/961.828 filed August 7. 2013. which is a continuation of copending U.S. Application
`Serial No. 11/897.177. filed August 28. 2007. which is a continuation of U.S. Application
`Serial No. 10/927,857, filed August 27, 2004. now abandoned, which claimed the benefit
`of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/503,137 filed September 15, 2003, which-4s are
`incorporated in its their entirety herein by reference.
`
`Please replace page 4, line 25 - page 5, line 3 of the specification filed herewith with the
`following amended paragraph:
`The present methods are useful in treating any suitable condition which is
`therapeutically sensitive to or treatable with cyclosporin components. Such conditions
`preferably are ophthalmic or ocular conditions, that is relating to or having to do with one
`or more parts of an eye of a human or animal. Included among such conditions are,
`without limitation, dry eye syndrome, phacoanaphylactic endophthalmitis, uveitis, vernal
`conjunctivitis, atopic keratoconjunctivitis, corneal graft rejection and the like conditions.
`The present invention is particularly effective in treating dry eye syndrome. Cyclosporin
`has been found as effective in treating immune mediated keratoconiunctivitis sicca (KCS
`or dry eve disease) in a patient suffering therefrom. The activity of cyclosporins is as an
`immunosuppressant and in the enhancement or restoring of lacrimal gland tearing. Other
`conditions that can be treated with cyclosporin components include an absolute or partial
`deficiency in aqueous tear production (keratoconiunctivitis sicca, or KCS). Topical
`administration to a patient's tear deficient eve can increase tear production in the eve. The
`treatment can further serve to correct corneal and conjunctival disorders exacerbated by
`tear deficiency and KCS. such as corneal scarring, corneal ulceration, inflammation of
`the cornea or conjunctiva, filamentary keratisis. mucopurulent discharge and
`vascularization of the cornea.
