Displacement (lateral) of globe, right eye

This code signifies an abnormal outward or sideways shift of the right eyeball from its normal anatomical position within the orbit. This displacement can be caused by various underlying conditions affecting the orbital contents or bony structure.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a lateral displacement of the right globe. This is typically supported by physical examination findings, imaging reports (e.g., CT, MRI of the orbit), or ophthalmology consultation notes detailing the specific direction of the globe's malposition.

• Ensure laterality is precisely documented; do not use for left or unspecified eye displacement.
• Always code the underlying cause of the globe displacement, if known, as a primary diagnosis.
• Distinguish from proptosis (forward displacement) or enophthalmos (posterior displacement).
