Glaucoma secondary to eye inflam, right eye, stage unsp

This code signifies elevated intraocular pressure and optic nerve damage in the right eye, specifically caused by an underlying inflammatory process within the eye. The stage of glaucoma progression is not specified in this diagnosis.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates glaucoma in the right eye resulting from ocular inflammation, such as uveitis or iritis. The physician's notes should explicitly link the glaucoma to the inflammatory condition.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right eye" and the inflammatory etiology.
• Do not use if the inflammation is a result of the glaucoma; the inflammation must be the cause.
• Sequence this code after the underlying inflammatory condition (e.g., H20.0XX for acute iridocyclitis) if the inflammation is still active.
