Glaucoma secondary to eye trauma, r eye, indeterminate stage

This code signifies elevated intraocular pressure and optic nerve damage in the right eye, specifically resulting from a previous traumatic injury to the eye. The stage of glaucoma progression is currently undetermined.

Apply this code when a patient presents with glaucoma in the right eye, and the medical record clearly links its etiology to a prior eye trauma. Documentation must indicate that the specific stage of glaucoma (e.g., mild, moderate, severe) has not yet been established.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "right eye" and confirms a history of eye trauma as the cause of glaucoma.
• Do not use this code if the stage of glaucoma is known; instead, select a more specific code indicating the stage.
• Always sequence a code for the underlying eye trauma (e.g., S05.xx) if it is still an active injury or relevant to the current encounter.
