Well it seems to me that your greater problem is excessive anxiety about a mild medical condition.  If you have dark brown eyes, small gray or brown spots on the surface of the eye are normal and harmless.  Depending on your age and the appearance of the brown spot, it may be melanosis, which requires observation every 6 - 12 months to determine whether it is changing.  Pigment on the surface of the eye is not connected to glaucoma.
