Inj conjunctiva and corneal abrasion w/o fb, left eye, init

This code signifies a superficial injury to the left eye involving both the conjunctiva and the cornea, specifically an abrasion, where no foreign object is present. It indicates the initial treatment or evaluation for this type of ocular trauma.

Apply this code when documentation confirms a left eye injury presenting as a conjunctival abrasion and a corneal abrasion, without any retained foreign body. This is appropriate for the patient's first visit for this specific injury.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "left eye" and confirms the absence of a foreign body.
• Distinguish from codes for foreign body in the eye (T15.-) or chemical burns (T26.-).
• Verify the encounter type is "initial" (A) for the first time the patient is seen for this injury.
