The surgery eye doctors use to treat a macular pucker is called vitrectomy with membrane peel. During a vitrectomy, the vitreous gel is removed to prevent it from pulling on the retina.
A macular pucker is a rare eye condition that can make your vision wavy or distorted. Most of the time, experts don't know what causes it. Many people who have macular pucker have mild symptoms — and most people don't need any treatment.
The macula is a place. It is the functional center of the retina. The term macular is an adjective. “Macular” is not a disease.

A macular hole is a small gap that opens at the centre of the retina, in an area called the macula. The retina is the light-sensitive film at the back of the eye. In the centre is the macula – the part responsible for central and fine-detail vision needed for tasks such as reading.
Full thickness macular hole (FTMH) is a common maculopathy, which causes debilitating central vision loss and impairment of the quality of life of patients. It is usually idiopathic, but may be associated with trauma, high myopia and solar retinopathy.
Right macular degeneration. Clinical Information. A condition in which parts of the eye cells degenerate, resulting in blurred vision and ultimately blindness. A condition in which there is a slow breakdown of cells in the center of the retina (the light-sensitive layers of nerve tissue at the back of the eye).
injury (trauma) of eye and orbit ( S05.-) A condition in which parts of the eye cells degenerate, resulting in blurred vision and ultimately blindness. A condition in which there is a slow breakdown of cells in the center of the retina (the light-sensitive layers of nerve tissue at the back of the eye).
This is confusing because 66850 is an anterior approach code. It seems more logical to choose 66852 due to the words “pars plana” in the description. However, for Medicare, the claim will not be paid because, under the NCCI, 66852 is bundled with all vitrectomy and retinal detachment repair codes.
If the eye has already been vitrectomized, CPT code 67121 may be a better choice than 67036. Focal endolaser is a higher paying code; however, prophylactic laser was not the purpose of the surgery and thus is not the reason the surgery was undertaken. Focal endolaser photocoagulation is bundled with 67121 and 67036.
