Alzheimers Symptom or Glaucome Symptom?

Alzheimers Symptom or Glaucome Symptom?

My mother-in-law is 85 years old and has been in an Alzheimer's facility for 3 years now.

For the last 6 months I have noticed black spots on the iris of her eye.  She is in what we believe is late-stage Alzheimers.  

Are these spots on the iris a symptom on Alzheimers or of some other eye-related disease such as glaucoma?

Thank you,.

Neither one, they usually just are iris freckles. At here age and her condition I don't think you need to worry.
