Revised Miyake-Apple technique for postmortem eye preparation.
We describe a revised Miyake-Apple technique to prepare cadaver eyes. A plastic mold is used to hold the globe for marking and to facilitate inverting the globe. This decreases vitreous loss and creates a more secure eye. The method is easy, decreases the learning curve, and increases the quality of the prepared eyes.
