Exdtve age-rel mclr degn, right eye, with actv chrdl neovas

This diagnosis code signifies the presence of wet (exudative) age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affecting the patient's right eye. A key characteristic is the active growth of new, abnormal blood vessels (choroidal neovascularization) beneath the retina, which can leak fluid or blood, leading to rapid vision loss.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates exudative AMD in the right eye with confirmed active choroidal neovascularization. This is typically supported by ophthalmological examination findings, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) showing subretinal fluid or hemorrhage, fluorescein angiography demonstrating leakage, or clinical notes explicitly stating active CNV.

• Differentiate from non-exudative (dry) AMD, which has distinct codes.
• Ensure laterality is accurately documented and coded (right eye vs. left eye vs. bilateral).
• Confirm "active" CNV; inactive or scarred CNV would typically be coded differently.
