Abstract

Objective: This report aims to evaluate the effects of Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT) on symptom improvement and functional recovery in a patient with macular degeneration. Case Presentation: A 60-year-old Korean woman presented with macular degeneration, complaining of reduced visual acuity, ocular discomfort, and dryness. She underwent OCNT for six months, which included various nutrients such as antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and carotenoids. After treatment, the patient experienced significant symptom improvement, and ophthalmological examinations confirmed stabilization of macular health. The patient no longer reported discomfort due to vision decline in her daily life, and her quality of life improved. Conclusion: This case suggests that OCNT may positively impact symptom relief and functional recovery in macular degeneration. Supplementation with antioxidants and carotenoids may play a crucial role in maintaining macular health. However, large-scale studies are necessary to generalize these findings.
