The Heidelberg uses light to make the image and if you and see in due the 
opacity you will not be able to get an image. The best option would be to use a 
UBM ultrasound.

Subject: [optimal] anterior heidelberg, viewing thru hazy cornea
  


We have a new anterior lens and module for the Hedelberg Spectralis at a second 
site, but not much experience using it.  As a photographer familiar with the 
other Heidelberg functions, how much differnet is the anterior scanning 
methodology?  trying it a couple times, it seems that fixation can be an issue? 
 are there any optimal scan settings, ie ART levels, HS or HR? 

basically I'm looking for some pointers, because an MD wishes to see the angle 
for possible peripheral anterior synchiae, or a "mass blocking" which may be 
causing  a "malpositioned ACIOL in the chamber." 
  
the trouble is, I don't know enough about the machines capability, especially 
when the MD says she cannot see the angle due to a "hazy cornea." 
  
any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. 
  
Thanks, 
John Head, CRA
