Lac w/o fb of unsp eyelid and periocular area, sequela

This code signifies a healed injury to the eyelid or surrounding eye area that was originally a laceration without a foreign body. It indicates a long-term effect or complication arising from that past trauma, such as scarring, disfigurement, or functional impairment.

Use this code when documenting a current condition that is a direct consequence of a previous laceration to an unspecified eyelid or periocular area, and the acute injury has resolved. Documentation should clearly link the current sequela to the prior laceration, indicating the original injury was without a foreign body.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states the current condition is a "sequela" or "due to old injury" of a laceration.
• Do not use this code for acute lacerations; use the appropriate acute injury code.
• Always sequence this sequela code after the code describing the specific nature of the sequela (e.g., scar, disfigurement).
