Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) are defined as intraocularly retained, unintentional projectiles that require urgent diagnosis and treatment to prevent blindness or globe loss. IOFBs account for 16–41% of open globe injuries, and frequently cause severe visual loss in patients with ocular trauma [1,2,3,4].

If the foreign body in the left eye is nonmagnetic, the correct code is H44.7 Retained (old) IOFB, nonmagnetic, which includes the instruction “Use additional code to identify nonmagnetic foreign body (Z18.0 – Z18.10, Z18.12, Z18.2 – Z18.2-Z19.9).” A comparable diagnosis for an old retained foreign body in the left eye that is nonmagnetic is H44.752.
For IOFBs, the most commonly used codes include S05.51 (Penetrating wound with foreign body of right eyeball) and S05.52 (Penetrating wound with foreign body of left eyeball). However, when this family of codes is used, the 7th character is required, and it must be in the 7th position. For example, an IOFB in the right eye would be S05.51xA, where the x is used as a placeholder to ensure that the A is in the 7th position.
Surgery: Surgery consisted of an attempted removal of the metallic foreign body with an 18-gauge magnet. The IOFB ultimately had to be removed using large retina forceps. Further surgery involved primary open globe repair, pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), pars plana lensectomy, and anterior chamber washout. Cultures were taken and intravitreal antibiotics injected.
Whereas the diagnosis code selection is determined by whether or not the foreign body is magnetic, the surgical code selection is determined by the method of extraction, as described earlier. The CPT code selection is guided by how the procedure was performed, and it does not matter if the foreign body was magnetic. If a magnet was used, then it is a magnetic extraction; otherwise it is a nonmagnetic extraction—even if the foreign body itself is magnetic.
A foreign body is an object, or more than one object, that has entered and is present in the body but does not belong there and was not placed there by a surgeon. 1. In retinal trauma, the sites where IOFBs are most ...

An intraocular lens (IOL) is never considered a foreign body and should never be listed as such in an operative note. It is an implant. When one has become dislocated, it should be referred to as a dislocated IOL or dislocated IOL implant. Further detail should note the place of dislocation (anterior chamber, posterior chamber, posterior vitreous, ...
