Luxation of globe, left eye

This code signifies the complete displacement of the left eyeball from its orbital socket. This is a severe ocular injury where the globe is no longer contained within the bony orbit.

This code is appropriate for traumatic events resulting in the left eye being fully dislodged from the orbit. Documentation should clearly state "luxation" or "prolapse" of the globe, specifically identifying the left eye.

• Ensure documentation specifies "luxation" or "prolapse" of the globe, not just "proptosis" or "exophthalmos," which imply protrusion without complete displacement.
• Verify laterality; this code is specific to the left eye.
• Code any associated trauma or underlying cause, such as a fracture of the orbital bones, in addition to this code.
