Duane's syndrome, right eye

This code identifies Duane's retraction syndrome affecting the right eye. It is a congenital disorder of eye movement characterized by limited abduction (outward movement) and/or adduction (inward movement), often accompanied by globe retraction and narrowing of the palpebral fissure on attempted adduction.

Use this code when documentation specifies a diagnosis of Duane's syndrome impacting the patient's right eye. This diagnosis is typically made based on clinical examination findings of characteristic ocular motility abnormalities.

• Ensure laterality is clearly documented (right eye, left eye, or bilateral).
• Do not confuse with other strabismus codes; Duane's syndrome has unique neurological origins.
• Code any associated visual impairments or other ocular conditions separately.
