Inj conjunctiva and corneal abrasion w/o fb, right eye, init

This code signifies a traumatic injury to the right eye involving both the conjunctiva and the cornea, specifically an abrasion, without the presence of a foreign body. It indicates the initial treatment for this acute ocular injury.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a patient presents with a scratch or scrape to the conjunctiva and a corneal abrasion of the right eye, and no foreign body is identified or removed. This is appropriate for the first encounter for this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "right eye" and confirms the absence of a foreign body.
• Distinguish from codes for conjunctival lacerations or corneal ulcers, which involve deeper tissue damage.
• Always assign an external cause code (V00-Y99) in conjunction with this injury code to describe the circumstances of the event.
