Poisoning by opth drugs and preparations, self-harm, subs

This code signifies a patient presenting for follow-up care or management of complications resulting from a deliberate overdose or misuse of eye-related medications. The initial self-harm event has already occurred, and the current encounter addresses ongoing issues related to that poisoning.

Apply this code when a patient is seen for continued treatment of ocular damage, systemic effects, or psychological support following an intentional self-poisoning with ophthalmological drugs. This includes scenarios like managing corneal abrasions, glaucoma exacerbation, or psychiatric evaluation after the acute phase of the poisoning.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "intentional self-harm" and that this is a "subsequent encounter."
• Always code the specific ophthalmological drug involved if known, using additional codes from categories T36-T50.
• Consider additional codes for any specific physical or mental health conditions resulting from the poisoning.
