Inj conjunctiva and corneal abras w/o fb, unsp eye, sequela

This code signifies a past injury to the conjunctiva and a corneal abrasion in an unspecified eye, where the initial injury has healed, but the patient is still experiencing residual effects or complications. It indicates that no foreign body was present at the time of the original injury.

Use this code when a patient presents with a current condition or symptom that is a direct result of a previously sustained conjunctival injury and corneal abrasion, and the specific eye affected is not documented. Documentation should clearly link the current complaint to the prior injury and indicate the "sequela" or late effect.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "sequela" or "late effect" of the original injury.
• Do not use this code for acute injuries; refer to the acute injury codes in the S05 category.
• If the specific eye (right or left) is documented, use the more specific codes S05.01XS or S05.02XS.
