Thorough grossing and standardized sectioning of non-neoplastic globes are important for obtaining high-quality reproducible histopathologic sections. Guidelines for a standardized grossing of adult and fetal non-neoplastic globes are provided herein. Different options for globe sectioning are demonstrated and discussed, including criteria for case-based decision-making.

The paper describes a simplified technique to excise corneal and to eviscerate retinal tissues from the ocular globe of human cadaveric donors. The technique described here will help to excise good quality tissues to be used for transplantation, surgical or research purposes without damaging other tissues of the ocular globe.

FAQs
Preserving orientation keeps the cornea, lens, retina, and optic nerve in a consistent anatomical relationship while the globe is examined or manipulated. This limits errors caused by rotation or displacement and helps clinicians and researchers interpret visible structures accurately. The result is more controlled access and more dependable anatomical assessment.
Stabilization prevents unintended globe movement while tissues are viewed, handled, or prepared. By limiting rotation and displacement, the technique reduces changes in the apparent position of ocular structures and supports more consistent visualization. This is especially important when researchers compare specimens or when clinicians need precise control during ophthalmic procedures.
Controlled positioning supports visualization of the cornea, lens, retina, and optic nerve, although the relevant structure depends on the task. Keeping the globe steady allows examination or manipulation to focus on the intended region rather than on correcting unwanted movement. This improves procedural control and supports clearer anatomical assessment in medicine.
The general workflow is to secure the globe, establish the required orientation, and then perform the planned examination, imaging, dissection, or ophthalmic procedure. During the task, stabilization is maintained so the eyeball does not rotate or shift. Afterward, the preserved position supports interpretation of findings or preparation of ocular specimens.
Researchers may use the technique when preparing ocular specimens for anatomical study, dissection, teaching, or imaging. Consistent positioning helps specimens remain comparable and reduces variation caused by displacement during preparation. It therefore supports reproducible investigations, allowing observed anatomical relationships to reflect the specimen rather than inconsistent globe orientation.
In ophthalmic procedures, stabilization improves access to ocular tissues and gives the operator greater control over the globe. In teaching and research, it provides a consistent preparation for examining anatomy and demonstrating structures. These benefits connect technical handling with clearer visualization, more repeatable specimen preparation, and improved understanding of ocular organization.
