H40.1434
ICD-10-CMCapsular glaucoma with pseudoexfoliation of lens, bilateral, indeterminate stage
This code signifies a form of secondary open-angle glaucoma characterized by the deposition of pseudoexfoliative material on the lens capsule and other ocular structures, affecting both eyes. It indicates that the severity or progression of the glaucoma in both eyes cannot be precisely determined at the time of diagnosis.
Apply this code when documentation confirms bilateral capsular glaucoma with pseudoexfoliation of the lens, and the physician explicitly states an "indeterminate stage" for the condition in both eyes. This is appropriate when the extent of optic nerve damage or visual field loss is not yet fully classified.
