Secondary noninfectious iridocyclitis, unspecified eye

This code describes inflammation of the iris and ciliary body (iridocyclitis) that is not caused by an infection and affects an unspecified eye. It indicates that the iridocyclitis is a manifestation of another underlying systemic condition or disease, rather than a primary ocular infection.

Use this code when documentation clearly states "secondary noninfectious iridocyclitis" but does not specify laterality (right or left eye). This diagnosis often accompanies systemic autoimmune diseases, inflammatory conditions, or drug-induced reactions. The medical record should support the noninfectious nature and secondary etiology.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "noninfectious" and "secondary" to differentiate from infectious or primary forms.
• Always attempt to code to a more specific laterality (right or left eye) if documented.
• Code the underlying systemic condition first, followed by this code, to accurately reflect the etiology.
