When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
optically clear
"The vitreous is a gel-like substance occupying the posterior segment of the eye. It consists of a collagen framework interspersed with hyaluronic acid. In its normal state, it is OPTICALLY CLEAR, whereas during intraocular inflammation it may become hazy."
"Examine the anterior chamber using a vertically and horizontally short beam. Normally, the aqueous humor is OPTICALLY CLEAR"
"AQUEOUS HUMOUR - THE CLEAR, WATERY FLUID which fills the anterior and posterior chambers of the eye. It has a refractive index lower than the crystalline lens, which it surrounds, and is involved in the metabolism of the cornea and the crystalline lens"
"The anterior chamber is filled with aqueous humor, which is OPTICALLY CLEAR"
As opposed to 'cloudy':
"AQUEOUS FLARE IS CLOUDY AQUEOUS HUMOR that results from influx of cells and protein when the blood-ocular barrier is disrupted as a result of UVEAL INFLAMMATION."
Since they say the iris is 'reizfrei' I assume they are suggesting there is no anterior uveitis which could cause flare/clouding of the anterior humour:
"Iritis (i-RYE-tis) is swelling and IRRITATION (INFLAMMATION) in the colored ring around your eye's pupil (iris). ANOTHER NAME for iritis is ANTERIOR UVEITIS."

The change in iris position after phacoemulsification was larger in short eyes than in normal or long eyes (mean change 0.93 mm, 0.70 mm, and 0.43 mm, respectively) (P < .017).
Cataract Surgery in Anterior Megalophthalmos: A Review

Aphakic iris-claw lenses such as the Artisan lens (Ophtec, Groningen, the Netherlands) or Verisyse lens (Abbott Medical Optics Inc., Santa Ana, CA, United States) have also been used in patients with anterior megalophthalmos by implanting the lens in the anterior chamber (17, 26, 33) or fixating them in the posterior surface of the iris (27, 28).

Shallow Anterior Chambers - Nuffield Health
https://www.nuffieldhealth.com/conditions/shallow-anterior-c...
The part of your eye between your iris (the coloured part of your eye) and your cornea (front of your eye) is a liquid filled space called the anterior chamber. The liquid (called aqueous) flows along the back of your iris, through your pupil (the dark centre of your eye) and into your anterior chamber. The angle of the anterior chamber can vary. Most people have what is called an …

Yep, thanks. Depths which aren't deep enough are usually classed as shallow;

: I'm in two minds about this. It's the correct answer in my opinion but, as Anne says, your references don't support your answer and empty doesn't mean shallow.

optically empty anterior chamber
--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------
Die Vorderkammer (auch: vordere Augenkammer,
Camera anterior bulbi) wird von der Hornhautrückfläche,
der Iris und dem Kammerwinkel begrenzt.
An der Pupillenebene geht sie in die Hinterkammer
über. Sie enthält klare, in einer hier
nicht näher beschriebenen Art und Weise zirkulierende
Flüssigkeit (Kammerwasser), weshalb sie bei
der Spaltlampenuntersuchung keinerlei Lichterscheinungen
zeigt und deshalb als „optisch leer“
bezeichnet wird.

The area between is the fluid-filled anterior chamber. The aqueous [humour??] normally does not reflect light and the space is “optically empty”.
