Other therapeutic and rehab ophthalmic devices assoc w incdt

This code signifies an adverse event or complication arising from the use of a therapeutic or rehabilitative ophthalmic device that is not surgically implanted. This includes issues with devices designed to aid vision or treat eye conditions non-invasively, such as specialized contact lenses, ocular prosthetics, or low vision aids. The adverse incident could involve device malfunction, patient injury, or an allergic reaction directly attributable to the device.

Use this code when a patient experiences an adverse effect from a non-surgical ophthalmic device, such as irritation or infection from a therapeutic contact lens, a defect in a low vision magnifier causing injury, or a reaction to materials in an ocular prosthetic. It is appropriate for reporting complications where the device itself, rather than a surgical procedure, is the source of the adverse incident.

• Always sequence this code after the primary diagnosis describing the nature of the adverse event (e.g., conjunctivitis, corneal abrasion).
• Ensure documentation clearly links the adverse event to a specific non-surgical ophthalmic device.
• Do not use for adverse events related to surgically implanted ophthalmic devices; refer to codes in the T85.xx series for those scenarios.
