Oclr lac w/o prolaps/loss of intraoc tissue, unsp eye, subs

This code signifies a follow-up encounter for a laceration to the eyeball that does not involve the extrusion of intraocular contents. It indicates a penetrating injury to the globe where the internal structures remain contained. The specific eye affected is not documented.

Use this code for subsequent encounters when a patient is receiving ongoing care for an ocular laceration without prolapse or loss of intraocular tissue. Documentation should clearly state "subsequent encounter" or indicate follow-up care, such as wound checks, medication adjustments, or monitoring for complications after initial treatment.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subsequent encounter" to justify the "D" seventh character.
• Distinguish from initial encounters (A) or sequela (S) for the same injury.
• Do not use if there is any mention of tissue prolapse or loss; a different code would be required.
