The conducted investigations showed that the developed method of treating the corneas obtained from the enucleated eyes including the two-moment influence of Triton X-100 and ammonium hydroxide before and after ultrasonic treatment allowed to obtain the acellular module of the corneal stroma with the smallest damage of the ultrastructure of the collagenic fibers.
