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

This code describes a specific type of secondary open-angle glaucoma affecting the right eye, characterized by the presence of pseudoexfoliation material on the lens. This condition leads to increased intraocular pressure and optic nerve damage, and in this instance, it has progressed to a severe stage.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of capsular glaucoma with pseudoexfoliation in the right eye, and the severity is explicitly stated as "severe stage." This typically involves significant visual field loss and/or advanced optic nerve cupping.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right eye" and "severe stage" to support this granular code.
• Distinguish from other types of secondary glaucoma; the presence of pseudoexfoliation is key.
• Do not use if the stage is mild, moderate, or unspecified; a different code from the H40.14- category would be appropriate.
