Pigmentary glaucoma, right eye, moderate stage

This code signifies a specific type of secondary open-angle glaucoma characterized by pigment dispersion, affecting the right eye. The condition is at a moderate stage, indicating a measurable degree of optic nerve damage and visual field loss.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a diagnosis of pigmentary glaucoma in the patient's right eye, and clinical assessment confirms a moderate stage of the disease. This typically involves evidence of moderate visual field defects and/or optic nerve damage.

• Ensure laterality (right eye) is explicitly documented.
• Verify the stage of glaucoma (moderate) is clearly stated by the ophthalmologist.
• Differentiate from other types of open-angle glaucoma; pigment dispersion must be the underlying cause.
