XEN Gel Stent to Treat ICE Syndrome: 4 Cases.

ABSTRACT: PRéCIS:: This case series reports safe, effective implantation of XEN gel stents to treat iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome. The stents continue to function well and have not been occluded by membranes or peripheral anterior synechiae, but continued follow-up is necessary.
