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

This code signifies a chronic or late effect of a penetrating injury to the left eye that resulted in a full-thickness wound to the globe, accompanied by the extrusion or loss of internal eye structures such as the iris, lens, or vitreous. This represents the long-term consequences or complications arising from the initial acute trauma.

Apply this code when documenting the sequela of a past ocular rupture or laceration of the left eye where intraocular contents prolapsed or were lost. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing complications like vision loss, chronic pain, or cosmetic deformities directly attributable to the original injury. Documentation should clearly state the left eye was affected and specify the prolapse/loss of intraocular tissue.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "left eye" and indicates the injury is a sequela, not an acute event.
• Distinguish this from acute injuries (initial encounter) or subsequent encounters for routine healing without ongoing complications.
• Verify that intraocular tissue prolapse or loss was specifically documented at the time of the original injury or as a current finding related to the past trauma.
