Partially resolved traumatic cataract, right eye

This code signifies a traumatic cataract in the right eye that has begun to resolve but is not yet fully cleared. It indicates a partial improvement in the lens opacity caused by an injury, impacting vision to some degree.

Use this code when documentation specifies a traumatic cataract in the right eye that is noted as "partially resolved," "improving," or "diminishing" following initial injury or treatment. Supporting documentation should clearly indicate the laterality and the resolving nature of the cataract.

• Ensure documentation specifies "partially resolved" to differentiate from initial or fully resolved traumatic cataracts.
• Verify laterality (right eye) is clearly stated in the medical record.
• Do not use this code if the cataract is fully resolved or if it is still in its acute, unresolved phase.
