Drusen of optic disc, right eye

This code signifies the presence of abnormal extracellular deposits, known as drusen, located on the optic disc of the right eye. These deposits are typically composed of hyaline material and can be an incidental finding or associated with various ophthalmic conditions.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states drusen are identified on the optic disc of the right eye. This often occurs during routine ophthalmic examinations, fundoscopy, or imaging studies such as optical coherence tomography (OCT).

• Ensure laterality is clearly documented; this code is specific to the right eye.
• Distinguish optic disc drusen from macular drusen, which are coded differently.
• Code any associated visual disturbances or underlying conditions separately.
