What This Code Means
A condition affecting both eyes where abnormally low internal pressure causes the front chambers to become flattened, potentially affecting vision in both eyes.
Coding Tips
- •Use this code only when documentation explicitly states bilateral involvement
- •Do not use this code if only one eye is affected - select the appropriate unilateral code instead
