Capslr glaucoma w/pseudxf lens, left eye, severe 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 elevated intraocular pressure and optic nerve damage, with the "severe stage" indicating significant visual field loss or optic nerve cupping.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a diagnosis of capsular glaucoma with pseudoexfoliation in the left eye, and the ophthalmologist has explicitly documented the severity as "severe stage." This typically involves findings such as extensive pseudoexfoliative material, significant optic disc changes, and advanced visual field defects.

• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies "capsular glaucoma" and "pseudoexfoliation of lens" to differentiate from other glaucoma types.
• Verify laterality (left eye) and the documented severity stage (severe) are explicitly stated.
• Do not confuse with primary open-angle glaucoma or other secondary glaucomas without pseudoexfoliation.
