FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, specifically to ophthalmology. For monolateral auto keratoplasty of the cornea optical zone, an auto sclera flap is formed 1/2 of the scleral thickness by the base to the limb by excising the layer-by-layer keratotransplant in the thickness equal to the depth of the ulcerous defect on 12 o'clock under the upper eyelid with 1 mm from the limb. Keratotransplant is placed in a previously prepared bed and fixed with sutures. Peripheral defect of cornea on 12 o'clock is closed by a prepared auto sclera flap by turning it through its base and laying on the cornea with suturing fixation to cornea by 6 sutures and closing conjunctival defect 2 with interrupted sutures.
