Corrosions of oth parts of right eye and adnexa, sequela

This code signifies a long-term consequence or scar from a chemical burn to a specific part of the right eye or its surrounding structures, excluding the eyelid or periocular area. This could involve damage to the conjunctiva, cornea, sclera, or other ocular adnexa. The injury itself is no longer acute, but its lasting effects are being addressed.

Use this code when documenting a patient presenting with a chronic condition, such as corneal scarring, synechiae, or persistent inflammation, directly attributable to a past corrosive injury to the right eye. This applies when the initial burn has healed, but residual damage or complications require ongoing management.

• Always use with an external cause code (V00-Y99) to identify the circumstances of the original corrosion.
• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "sequela" or "late effect" and the specific right eye structure affected.
• Do not use for acute corrosive injuries; those require codes from the T26.0-T26.7 series.
