Capslr glaucoma w/pseudxf lens, r eye, indeterminate stage

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 capsule. This material obstructs the aqueous outflow pathways, leading to increased intraocular pressure and optic nerve damage. The "indeterminate stage" indicates that the severity of the glaucoma damage has not yet been precisely classified.

Use this code when documentation clearly states a diagnosis of capsular glaucoma with pseudoexfoliation affecting the right eye, and the stage of the glaucoma is not specified as mild, moderate, or severe. This typically occurs during initial diagnosis or when further evaluation is needed to determine the extent of optic nerve damage. Supporting documentation would include ophthalmologist notes detailing the presence of pseudoexfoliation, elevated intraocular pressure, and optic nerve changes consistent with glaucoma, without a definitive staging.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right eye" and "pseudoexfoliation of lens" to differentiate from other glaucoma types or laterality.
• Do not use if the stage of glaucoma (mild, moderate, severe) is clearly documented; instead, select the appropriate staged code.
• Consider sequencing this code after any underlying systemic conditions if they are directly contributing to the pseudoexfoliation syndrome.
