Luxation of globe, right eye

This code signifies the complete displacement of the eyeball from its socket (orbit) in the right eye. This is a severe ocular injury where the globe is no longer contained within the bony orbit.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states "luxation of globe" or "proptosis" specifically affecting the right eye, often due to significant trauma. Supporting documentation would include emergency room notes, ophthalmology consultations, or operative reports detailing the complete displacement.

• Differentiate from subluxation (partial displacement) which has a different code.
• Always specify laterality (right, left, bilateral) as separate codes exist.
• Code any associated trauma or underlying cause separately, such as orbital fracture or foreign body.
