Abstract
Iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome includes a group of rare ocular pathologies with unilateral involvement, frequently affecting young women. The disease complex includes essential iris atrophy, Chandler's syndrome, and Cogan–Reese syndrome.  We herein report a 46 years old female who presented with diminution of vision in Left Eye since 2 months. Based on characteristic appearance on anterior segment finding, a clinical diagnosis of Iridocorneal Endothelial (ICE) Syndrome with secondary glaucoma was made. Medical management using combination of anti-glaucoma was given to the patient. Trabeculectomy was advised as a long term management for better quality of life to avoid secondary glaucomatous optic atrophy.
Keywords: Essential iris atrophy(ICE), glaucoma, trabeculectomy
