Chandler’s syndrome

Disease Overview

Chandler’s syndrome is a rare eye disorder in which the single layer of cells lining the interior of the cornea proliferates, causing changes within the iris, corneal swelling, and unusually high pressure in the eye (glaucoma). This condition is one of three syndromes, along with progressive iris atrophy and Cogan-Reese syndrome, that make up the iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome. In most cases, only one eye is affected.[2258][2259] Symptoms may include reduced vision and pain.[2258][2259] Chandler’s syndrome more often affects females and usually presents sometime during middle age.[2258] The cause of this disease is unknown.[2259]
