Goniosynechiae, left eye

This code signifies the presence of goniosynechiae in the left eye, which are abnormal adhesions between the iris and the trabecular meshwork in the anterior chamber angle. These adhesions can impede aqueous humor outflow, potentially leading to increased intraocular pressure and glaucoma.

This code is appropriate when documentation specifies the presence of goniosynechiae affecting the left eye, typically identified during a gonioscopy examination. It should be used when the laterality is clearly documented as left.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "left eye" for accurate laterality assignment.
• Distinguish from peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS) if the documentation specifies a broader adhesion.
• Code any associated glaucoma or elevated intraocular pressure separately.
