How to Use Alger Brush To Effectively Clean The Eyes

An alger brush is specifically designed for removing rust rings on the corneal surface. It has a burr attached to a rotating instrument, which has a motor with very low torque. The motor utilizes a centrifugal force that rotates the burrs in a slow and well-controlled manner. It removes the rust ring by brushing of the corneal surface until all rust rings are removed. In this way, the corneal surface is left smooth, which facilitates healing faster and without any residual damage.
