Iridocorneal endothelial or ICE syndrome is a spectrum of conditions of the eye,[1] where the inner layer of the cornea appears abnormal. It includes Cogan-Reese syndrome, Chandler's syndrome, and progressive iris atrophy.

"Cogan-Reese syndrome" is named for David Glendenning Cogan and Algernon Reese.[2][3]
