Flat anterior chamber hypotony of right eye

This code describes a condition of abnormally low intraocular pressure (hypotony) in the right eye, specifically associated with a flattened anterior chamber. This often indicates a disruption in the aqueous humor dynamics, leading to insufficient fluid volume within the eye's front compartment.

Use this code when documentation specifies hypotony of the right eye with a flat anterior chamber, typically following ocular surgery (e.g., glaucoma surgery, cataract surgery) or trauma. Supporting documentation should include ophthalmologist notes detailing the intraocular pressure measurement and observation of a flat anterior chamber.

• Ensure the laterality (right eye) is clearly documented.
• Distinguish from hypotony without a flat anterior chamber or hypotony due to other specified causes.
• Consider sequencing this code after any underlying cause, such as a post-procedural complication code, if applicable.
