Opaque basically means that something is not transparent; light can not pass through. For an example: the choroid of the eye is opaque, it absorbs excessive light so multiple images do not appear on the retina. Keep in mind that absorbing light is not the same thing as passing through. The choroid basically stops too much light from hitting the retina.
