Kyev, Ivano-Frankowsk, Ukraine

The review of literature is devoted to analysis of modern investigations of stem cells in different parts of eyeball in adults. Stem cells sources, localization of stem cell niches and markers of corneal (epithelium and stroma), scleral, conjunctival, Meibomian and lacrimal glands), choroideal (iris and ciliary body), retinal, lens stem cells. Opinion of scientists about possibilities of harvesting and use of eyeballtissues stem cells for their transplantation with aim of ocular pathology treatmentis discussed.

Key words: eyeball, system cells regeneration
