What This Code Means

A hereditary corneal condition characterized by granular deposits in the cornea of the right eye, causing progressive vision problems and corneal clouding.

Coding Tips

  • •Confirm 'granular' type is documented to distinguish from other corneal dystrophies like lattice or macular types
  • •Ensure right eye laterality is clearly documented in the medical record
