Abstract
A system, method, or device for imaging the anterior segment of an eye includes a contactless adapter/lens that may be attached to an existing ophthalmic imaging system to redirect the imaging system's light beam to traverse the pupil of the eye at a steep angle. In particular, the steep angle is determined to permit the ophthalmic imaging system to image zonules under the iris, and which would typically be blocked by the iris and not accessible for imaging.
