Slit lamp and HR-OCT images and histopathology of conjunctival amyloidosis. a Slit lamp photograph of a 71-year-old female who presented with bilateral bulbar conjunctival lesions that were yellow-red and fleshy in appearance, more prominent in the right eye (right eye lesion featured, white arrows). b HR-OCT through the lesion in the right eye showed a normal epithelial layer with a large heterogeneous, subepithelial lesion containing hyperreflective opacities consistent with deposition of amyloid material (white arrow). c Paucicellular amorphous material consistent with amyloid is present within the substantia propria (black arrow) that corresponds with the subepithelial hyperreflective opacities on OCT (hematoxylin and eosin; original magnification × 100). d The amyloid material (white arrow) demonstrates apple-green birefringence (Congo red; original magnification × 200)
