Abstract
The eye is a unique neurosensory organ. Much information can be gathered from the gross and microscopic examination of enucleated globes regarding the pathogenesis and manifestations of ocular and systemic diseases. In this chapter, we provide basic guidelines for the fixation and sectioning of ocular tissues, with emphasis on grossing the enucleated globe.
