Degeneration of ciliary body, right eye

This code signifies a deterioration or breakdown of the ciliary body tissue in the right eye. The ciliary body is a crucial structure involved in aqueous humor production and accommodation (focusing the lens). Its degeneration can lead to various ocular complications.

Use this code when documentation specifies age-related or other forms of degeneration affecting the ciliary body of the patient's right eye. This diagnosis is typically supported by ophthalmic examination findings such as atrophy, thinning, or other degenerative changes noted in the ciliary body.

• Ensure laterality is clearly documented as "right eye" to support this specific code.
• Distinguish from inflammatory conditions of the ciliary body (cyclitis) or other structural abnormalities.
• Code any associated glaucoma or other ocular complications separately, as appropriate.
