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

This diagnosis code signifies a specific type of open-angle glaucoma characterized by the presence of pseudoexfoliation material on the lens, affecting the left eye. The condition has progressed to a moderate stage, indicating a certain level of optic nerve damage and visual field loss.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a diagnosis of capsular glaucoma (also known as pseudoexfoliation glaucoma) in the left eye. The medical record must also specify the presence of pseudoexfoliation of the lens and confirm a moderate stage of the disease.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "pseudoexfoliation" or "capsular glaucoma" to differentiate from other open-angle glaucomas.
• Verify the laterality (left eye) and the stage of glaucoma (moderate) are clearly documented by the ophthalmologist.
• Do not confuse with primary open-angle glaucoma without pseudoexfoliation, or with other types of secondary glaucoma.
