Type 1 diab w prolif diab rtnop with trctn dtch macula, bi

This code describes a severe complication of Type 1 diabetes where abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina (proliferative diabetic retinopathy) has led to scar tissue formation, pulling on and detaching the central part of the retina (macula) in both eyes. This condition significantly impairs central vision.

Use this code when documentation confirms a patient with Type 1 diabetes has bilateral proliferative diabetic retinopathy complicated by traction retinal detachment specifically involving the macula. This typically follows ophthalmological examination findings, such as fundus photography, OCT, or clinical examination notes detailing macular involvement.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "Type 1 diabetes" and "bilateral" involvement of the macula.
• Distinguish from non-proliferative retinopathy or detachments not involving the macula.
• Code also any associated diabetic complications affecting other organs.
