The Miyake-Apple technique for posterior photography and video analysis of postmortem eyes and its variations provide a unique view of the anterior segment structures and surgical manipulations that are not readily seen during surgical procedures or by clinical inspection. It is particularly useful in studying and teaching anterior segment surgery, especially cataract and intraocular lens (IOL) surgery. We summarize the peer-reviewed literature on the use of this technique (1) in experimental studies with fresh human or animal eyes to analyze new IOLs and surgical techniques, (2) in formalin-fixed human pseudophakic autopsy eyes to study IOL-related complications, and (3) for teaching and training purposes.
