Corros w resulting rupture and dest of unsp eyeball, sequela

This code signifies the long-term effects or complications arising from a chemical burn that caused a complete rupture and destruction of an unspecified eyeball. It indicates that the initial injury has healed, but permanent damage, such as blindness, disfigurement, or chronic pain, persists.

Use this code when documenting the sequelae of a past chemical burn to the eye that led to its complete rupture and destruction. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters where the patient is being treated for the chronic consequences of the original injury, rather than the acute burn itself.

• Always assign a "sequela" code for conditions that are residual effects after the acute phase of an injury has terminated.
• Do not use this code for acute chemical burns; those would be coded with T26.7X_.
• Consider additional codes for specific resulting conditions, such as blindness (H54.-) or chronic pain (G89.29), if applicable.
