These are important questions that can best be answered by one's ophthalmologist who can inspect one's eyes and surrounding skin and, after reviewing the current medications, can comment on the skin discoloration.

Xalatan can cause pigmentation of the eye lid skin. Discuss this with your ophthalmologist
