Abstract

Objective: A Case study on improvement of ICE syndrome through the use of OCNT. Methods: OCNT was performed on a 45-year-old Korean female who had difficulty in opening the eyes widely due to painful and xerophthalmias, and suffered inconvenience in daily life due to myodesopsia. Results: After the implementation of OCNT, the intraocular pressure (IOP) level was restored to normal, and the pain, dryness and myodesopsia symptoms were alleviated. This resulted in improvement in depressive symptoms and quality of life. Conclusion: For patients suffering from problems such as elevated intraocular pressure, myodesopsia, and xerophthalmia, OCNT can be helpful in improvement and treatment of symptoms.
