Displacement of ocular prosth dev/grft, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication arising from the displacement of an ocular prosthetic device, implant, or graft, other than an intraocular lens. This displacement can lead to ongoing symptoms or require further medical intervention after the initial healing period of the original displacement event.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a current problem directly attributable to a previously displaced ocular prosthetic, implant, or graft (excluding IOLs). This includes situations where the displacement has been corrected but residual issues persist, or when the displacement itself is a chronic, ongoing problem.

• Requires a seventh character "S" to indicate sequela, meaning a late effect of the initial displacement.
• Do not use for acute displacement; this code is for residual conditions or chronic issues.
• Always code the underlying condition or current manifestation of the sequela first, if applicable.
