Minor opacity of cornea, bilateral

This code signifies a slight clouding or haziness affecting both corneas. This opacity is typically mild, not significantly impairing vision, and may result from various causes such as inflammation, trauma, or degenerative changes.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states "minor corneal opacity" or "slight corneal haziness" affecting both eyes. This is often noted during routine ophthalmological examinations or follow-up visits for corneal conditions.

• Ensure documentation specifies "minor" or "slight" opacity and explicitly states involvement of "both eyes."
• Do not use this code for significant or dense corneal opacities; those would require more specific codes.
• Consider sequencing this code after any underlying cause of the corneal opacity, if known and documented.
