T49.5X2A
ICD-10-CMPoisoning by ophthalmological drugs and preparations, intentional self-harm, initial encounter
This code signifies a patient presenting with adverse effects from intentionally self-administering ophthalmological medications or preparations with suicidal intent. The patient is in the initial phase of treatment for this poisoning.
Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient has ingested, injected, or otherwise introduced eye-related drugs (e.g., eye drops, ointments) into their system with the express purpose of self-harm. This is appropriate for the first encounter where the poisoning is evaluated and treated.
