Cornea donor

This code indicates that an individual has donated their corneas for transplantation. It signifies the act of corneal donation itself, not the receipt of a corneal transplant or any related medical condition. This is typically documented after the donation process has been completed.

Use this code for individuals who have undergone corneal donation. This may be documented in the donor's medical record, often in the context of organ procurement organization records or hospital records related to the donation process. It is used to track the contribution of the donor.

• This code is for the donor, not the recipient of the corneal transplant.
• Do not use this code if the individual is merely registered as a potential donor; it is for actual donation.
• Consider sequencing with other codes that describe the circumstances of death, if applicable, for deceased donors.
