Darkly pigmented conjunctival areas are seen in the right (A) and left (B) eyes of an 87-year-old African American woman with a history of glaucoma and bilateral trabeculectomy. The dark conjunctival lesions have been present for at least 40 years and were seen before any glaucoma medications had been started. There is no history of epinephrine use. C, Histopathological analysis reveals increased pigmentation of epithelial cells, predominantly in the basal layer (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification ×100).
