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

This code signifies a healed or residual effect of a past injury to the eye involving a tear or cut to the ocular structures, but without any extrusion or loss of internal eye contents. It indicates that the initial acute injury has resolved, and the current encounter addresses a long-term complication or sequela. The specific eye affected is not documented.

Apply this code when a patient presents for follow-up or treatment of a chronic condition directly resulting from a previous ocular laceration, where the original injury did not involve prolapse or loss of intraocular tissue. Documentation should clearly state the sequela of a past laceration and specify that the initial injury was without prolapse or loss ofocular tissue.

• Ensure documentation explicitly links the current condition to a past ocular laceration.
• Do not use for acute injuries; refer to the acute injury codes for initial treatment.
• Always seek more specific laterality (right, left, bilateral) if available in the medical record.
