Nevus of Ota with glaucoma: report of three cases

We report three cases of unilateral open-angle glaucoma associated with ipsilateral nevus of Ota. All three occurred in black patients and were associated with ipsilateral melanocytic infiltration of the outflow tracts. Glaucoma probably is associated with nevus of Ota in blacks more frequently than has been reported. All patients with nevus of Ota should be examined regularly to screen for glaucoma.
