Capslr glaucoma w/pseudxf lens, right eye, stage unsp

This code signifies a specific type of secondary open-angle glaucoma affecting the right eye, characterized by the presence of pseudoexfoliation material on the lens. This material can obstruct the trabecular meshwork, leading to increased intraocular pressure and subsequent optic nerve damage. The stage of glaucoma progression is not specified with this code.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of capsular glaucoma, also known as pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, specifically affecting the right eye. The medical record must confirm the presence of pseudoexfoliation material on the lens and a diagnosis of glaucoma in that eye. This code is appropriate when the physician has not yet determined or documented the specific stage of glaucoma.

• Ensure laterality is accurately documented as "right eye" to support this specific code.
• Do not use this code if the pseudoexfoliation is present without a confirmed diagnosis of glaucoma.
• If the stage of glaucoma is documented (e.g., mild, moderate, severe, or indeterminate), a more specific code within the H40.14- subcategory should be selected.
