Ophthalmic Surg. 1994 Feb;25(2):99-101.

Abstract

A simple method for inflicting corneal foreign body injuries on bovine eyes is described and illustrated. The subsequent use of these eyes for teaching corneal and rust-ring removal is demonstrated. This method is suitable for instruction of large numbers of students and could be included in an undergraduate curriculum.
