AB Corneal  Perforation  and  Rust  Ring.  This  patient  was  using  a  compressed  air  wire  wheel  brush  when  a  wire  came  loose  and  lodged  in  the  cornea.  He  was  not  wearing  safety  glasses.  The  wire  was  removed  in  the  operating  room  where  it  was  found  to  penetrate  fully  through  the  cornea  and  required  one  corneal  suture.  Interestingly,  the  rust  ring  had  formed  around  the  wire  only  about  3  hours  after  this  injury  occurred.
