Ocular melanosis (OM) is a blue-gray and/or brown lesion of the conjunctiva that can be separated into benign conjunctival epithelial melanosis (BCEM) and primary acquired melanosis (PAM), of which the latter is considered a risk factor for uveal melanoma. The disease is caused by an increase of melanocytes in the iris, choroid, and surrounding structures. Overproduction of pigment by these cells can block the trabecular meshwork through which fluid drains from the eye. The increased fluid in the eye leads to increased pressure, which can lead to glaucoma. In humans, this is sometimes known as pigment dispersion syndrome.

| - Die Melanosis oculi, seltener auch (kongenitale) okuläre Melanose genannt, ist eine angeborene Hyperpigmentierung der mittleren Augenhaut (Uvea oder der Lamina episcleralis), die sich in einer auffallenden Heterochromie darstellt. Die Iris kann dabei so dunkel erscheinen, dass man die Pupille kaum sieht. Wenn neben der Pigmentierung des Auges noch eine Hautpigmentierung zu beobachten ist, so wird dies als Nävus Ota bezeichnet. Differenzialdiagnostisch muss die Melanosis oculi von anderen, potentiell gefährlicheren erworbenen Melanosen des Auges unterschieden werden. (de)
