Partially resolved traumatic cataract, bilateral

This code signifies a cataract that developed as a result of ocular trauma and has shown some improvement but is not fully resolved in both eyes. The lens opacification, caused by an injury, is still present and affecting vision bilaterally, despite some degree of natural or intervention-induced regression.

Apply this code when documentation indicates a patient presents with a history of ocular trauma leading to cataract formation, and subsequent examinations confirm the cataract is still present in both eyes but has partially diminished in size or density. This code is supported by ophthalmological examination notes detailing bilateral traumatic cataracts with a "partially resolved" or "improving but not fully resolved" status.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "partially resolved" and "bilateral" to support this specific code.
• Distinguish from "unspecified" or "unresolved" traumatic cataracts, as well as non-traumatic cataracts.
• Sequence this code after any acute injury codes if the trauma is recent and still being treated.
