 This is one we have used with success:

We remove the eyes, nick the inner edge of the sclera with a fine knife
to allow penetration of the fixative as well as to provide a landmark
orientation. The entire eyes are immersed in 4% paraformaldehyde
in PBS for 30 min. We then remove the sclera and lens and the eyes
are fixed for an additional 2 hours. Following a thorough PBS rinse,
the eyes are placed in a protective 30% sucrose solution in PBS,
allowed to sink to the bottom of the container and immediately
embedded in OCT. We then store the embedded tissue at -80deg
and cryosection as needed.
