Abstract

We report on a patient with iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome in whom intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation during the night was detected using a home tonometer. A 44-year-old woman was diagnosed with ICE syndrome in the left eye. Angle-closure attack-like symptoms, including blurred vision and headache, appeared and spontaneously resolved irregularly at bedtime. Daytime examination indicated normal IOP and no obvious signs of glaucoma such as visual field defects or fundus abnormalities. However, nocturnal IOP measurements using a home tonometer revealed temporary high IOP at the time of symptom onset. A home tonometer may be a useful tool to detect transient IOP elevation at night, even if the IOP is normal during daytime examinations.
