Primary iridocyclitis, right eye

This code signifies inflammation of both the iris and the ciliary body, originating without an identifiable underlying systemic cause or secondary factor, specifically affecting the patient's right eye. It represents an idiopathic inflammatory process within the anterior uvea.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of iridocyclitis that is determined to be primary (idiopathic) in nature and exclusively affects the right eye. Supporting clinical notes should rule out trauma, infection, or systemic disease as the etiology.

• Ensure documentation specifies "primary" or "idiopathic" iridocyclitis; otherwise, a secondary code may be more appropriate.
• Verify laterality. This code is specific to the right eye; use the appropriate code for the left or bilateral involvement.
• Distinguish from other forms of uveitis, such as choroiditis or panuveitis, which involve different anatomical structures.
