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

This code signifies a form of secondary open-angle glaucoma affecting the right eye, characterized by the presence of pseudoexfoliative material on the lens capsule. This material obstructs the trabecular meshwork, leading to increased intraocular pressure and subsequent optic nerve damage, currently at a mild stage.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a diagnosis of capsular glaucoma with pseudoexfoliation in the right eye, and the severity is explicitly stated as mild. This typically occurs following ophthalmological examination, including gonioscopy, slit-lamp examination, and visual field testing, which confirms the pseudoexfoliative material and early signs of glaucomatous damage.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right eye" and "mild stage" for accurate coding.
• Differentiate from primary open-angle glaucoma (H40.10-H40.12) which lacks pseudoexfoliation.
• Code any associated visual field defects or optic nerve damage separately if documented.
