Dacryops of bilateral lacrimal glands

This code signifies the presence of dacryops, which are benign cystic dilations of the lacrimal gland ducts, affecting both eyes. These cysts typically present as painless, bluish, translucent masses located in the superior fornix of the conjunctiva.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates the diagnosis of dacryops affecting both the right and left lacrimal glands. This diagnosis is typically made upon clinical examination, often confirmed by imaging studies such as ultrasound or MRI if necessary.

• Ensure documentation specifies "bilateral" involvement; otherwise, a laterality-specific code for dacryops should be used.
• Distinguish from other lacrimal gland disorders like dacryoadenitis or lacrimal gland tumors, which have different ICD-10-CM codes.
• Code any associated symptoms or complications, such as foreign body sensation or epiphora, as secondary diagnoses.
