Podcast 743: Rust Rings

Podcast 743: Rust Rings

Contributor: Jared Scott, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • A rust ring can occur after a metallic foreign body is left in the eye for a prolonged period of time
  • Issues occur when the rust ring is left as it can epithelialize and become a permanent spot in the patient's vision
  • An eye burr or Alger brush can help to gouge out the rust ring in the emergency setting
  • These tools have a failsafe mechanism to prevent the eye burr from going through layers past the cornea (though this does not work if the foreign body is already through the cornea)
  • Referral to ophthalmology, antibiotic drops, and dilating drops are recommended options upon discharge
  • Complications include poor wound healing, scarring, and infection
