Conjunctival concretions, right eye

This code signifies the presence of small, hard, yellowish-white deposits (concretions or lithiasis) embedded in the conjunctiva of the right eye. These deposits are typically composed of degenerated epithelial cells and mucus, often forming in the palpebral conjunctiva. While usually asymptomatic, larger or more numerous concretions can cause foreign body sensation or irritation.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates conjunctival concretions are present in the patient's right eye. This diagnosis is often made during a routine ophthalmological examination or when a patient presents with symptoms of ocular irritation. Supporting documentation should specify the laterality.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "right eye" to support this laterality-specific code.
• Do not confuse with foreign body in conjunctiva (T15.11X) or other conjunctival lesions.
• Consider coding an associated symptom, such as foreign body sensation (H57.1), if documented and clinically appropriate.
