Anterior dislocation of lens, right eye

This code signifies a condition where the crystalline lens of the right eye has moved forward from its normal position within the globe, typically into the anterior chamber. This displacement can obstruct aqueous humor flow and potentially lead to secondary glaucoma. It represents a specific type of lens luxation affecting the right eye.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates an anterior dislocation of the lens in the patient's right eye. This diagnosis is often supported by slit-lamp examination findings, gonioscopy, and sometimes imaging studies confirming the lens's anterior displacement. Use this code for acquired or traumatic dislocations, not congenital conditions.

• Differentiate from posterior lens dislocation, which has a different code.
• Ensure laterality is explicitly documented (right eye).
• Consider additional codes for the underlying cause (e.g., trauma, Marfan syndrome) or associated complications (e.g., secondary glaucoma).
