Subepithelial, or anterior stromal, corneal haze may result after superficial corneal inflammation. It can be seen as a reflective region when illuminated with a broad slit beam, but is most easily visible when using the slit beam. These photographs show the appearance of a patient with anterior stromal haze after herpes zoster virus (HZV) keratitis. The depth of the opacification is visible in the slit beam.
