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

This code signifies a specific type of secondary open-angle glaucoma affecting the left eye, characterized by the presence of pseudoexfoliation material on the lens. This condition leads to increased intraocular pressure due to impaired aqueous humor outflow, with the current stage of the disease classified as mild.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of capsular glaucoma with pseudoexfoliation in the patient's left eye, and the ophthalmologist has assessed the severity as mild. This code is appropriate for initial diagnoses, follow-up visits, or when monitoring the progression of this specific glaucoma subtype.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left eye" and "mild stage" to support the specificity of this code.
• Distinguish from primary open-angle glaucoma (H40.10-H40.12) or other secondary glaucomas without pseudoexfoliation.
• Always sequence this code after any underlying systemic conditions if they are the primary reason for the encounter.
