Enophthalmos due to trauma or surgery, left eye

What This Code Means

The left eye has sunken inward (appears pushed back into the socket) as a result of injury or surgical procedure.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify documentation specifies trauma or surgery as the cause; distinguish from enophthalmos due to other causes
  • •Confirm laterality is documented as left eye; use H05.421 for right eye or H05.423 for bilateral
