Recurrent acute iridocyclitis, right eye

This diagnosis code signifies repeated episodes of acute inflammation affecting the iris and ciliary body in the patient's right eye. It indicates a sudden onset of symptoms such as pain, photophobia, and blurred vision, which resolve but then recur.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a diagnosis of recurrent acute iridocyclitis specifically affecting the right eye. This is appropriate for patients presenting with multiple, distinct episodes of acute anterior uveitis in the same eye.

• Ensure laterality is explicitly documented as "right eye" to support this specific code.
• Distinguish from chronic iridocyclitis (H20.1-) or unspecified laterality (H20.023).
• Confirm the "acute" nature of the episodes, differentiating from persistent or long-standing inflammation.
