A, Color photograph of the anterior segment in the right eye of patient 1 demonstrating the extensive pigment deposition on the corneal endothelium, lens, anterior capsule, and residual anterior hyaloid. B, Color photograph of the right fundus showing dense preretinal pigment overlying the macula on the optic nerve and surrounding the disc. C, Horizontal OCT image through the right macula revealing a dense hyperreflective layer anterior to the internal limiting membrane (ILM) corresponding to the retinal pigment. D, G, Color photographs of the (D) right and (G) left eyes of patient 2 revealing multiple subtle deposits (seen in higher-magnification insets) of preretinal pigment in the inferior peripheral retina and inferior macula. E, H, On fundus autofluorescence, these areas of pigment appeared hypoautofluorescent. F, I, OCT image through these areas revealing small hyperreflective deposits resting on top of the ILM.
