Facts About the Cornea and Corneal Disease: NEI (Excerpt)
iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome has three main features:
(1) Visible changes in the iris, the colored part of the eye that
regulates the amount of light entering the eye; (2) Swelling of
the cornea; and (3) The development of glaucoma, a disease that
can cause severe vision loss when normal fluid inside the eye
cannot drain properly. ICE is usually present in only one
eye. (Source: excerpt from Facts About the Cornea and Corneal Disease: NEI)
Facts About the Cornea and Corneal Disease: NEI (Excerpt)
ICE syndrome is actually a grouping of three closely
linked conditions: iris nevus (or Cogan-Reese) syndrome;
Chandler's syndrome; and essential (progressive) iris atrophy
(hence the acronym ICE). The most common feature of this group of
diseases is the movement of endothelial cells off the cornea onto
the iris. This loss of cells from the cornea often leads to
corneal swelling, distortion of the iris, and variable degrees of
distortion of the pupil, the adjustable opening at the center of
the iris that allows varying amounts of light to enter the eye.
This cell movement also plugs the fluid outflow channels of the
eye, causing glaucoma. (Source: excerpt from Facts About the Cornea and Corneal Disease: NEI)
