Glaucoma secondary to oth eye disord, r eye, moderate stage

This code signifies elevated intraocular pressure and optic nerve damage in the right eye, resulting from an underlying ocular condition other than trauma, inflammation, or medication. The glaucoma has progressed to a moderate stage, indicating a specific level of visual field loss or optic nerve damage.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates secondary glaucoma in the right eye, caused by another specified eye disorder (e.g., retinal detachment, intraocular tumor, or extensive synechiae). The physician's assessment must also specify the moderate stage of the glaucoma.

• Ensure the underlying "other eye disorder" is clearly documented and coded first, if applicable, as the primary diagnosis.
• Verify the laterality (right eye) and the specific stage (moderate) are explicitly stated in the clinical notes.
• Distinguish from H40.52X2 (left eye) and H40.53X2 (bilateral) for accurate laterality assignment.
