Oclr lac/rupt w prolaps/loss of intraoc tissue, l eye, subs

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a penetrating injury to the left eye that has resulted in a tear or rupture of the globe, accompanied by the extrusion or loss of internal ocular structures such as the iris, lens, or vitreous humor. It indicates ongoing care for the sequelae of such a severe eye trauma.

Use this code for subsequent visits related to the treatment, monitoring, or complications of a left eye laceration or rupture where intraocular contents have prolapsed or been lost. Documentation should clearly state "subsequent encounter" and detail the ongoing management of the previously diagnosed injury, such as wound care, infection control, or preparation for reconstructive surgery.

• Ensure documentation specifies "left eye" and "subsequent encounter" to support code assignment.
• Distinguish from initial encounters (A) or sequela encounters (S) for the same condition.
• Verify the presence of prolapse or loss of intraocular tissue; simple lacerations without this feature use different codes.
