Question: We recently had a patient who suffered a conjunctival laceration, left eye, without a corneal abrasion. The only diagnosis code we could find, S05.02XA, seems to include a corneal abrasion with the laceration. Is this the correct code? Answer: Under ICD-10, the term “and” may mean “and/or.” This is the correct code to use.
A second-degree laceration/tear involve injury to the vaginal wall and perineal muscle, but does not extend down into the anal sphincter muscle. My advice would be to assign the ICD-10-PCS code 0KQM0ZZ.

In conjunctival laceration, the tissue is torn and split, revealing bare sclera beneath. In these cases, the trauma itself acts as an antigen and sets off an inflammatory cascade resulting in vasodilation and edema of the involved and surrounding tissues.
A corneal abrasion is a scratch on your eye. It can happen in an instant. You poke your eye or something gets trapped under your eyelid, like dirt or sand. Your eye hurts, and it doesn't get better when you close it -- if you can keep it shut. Light makes it sting and burn.
The conjunctiva helps lubricate the eye by producing mucus and tears, although a smaller volume of tears than the lacrimal gland. It also contributes to immune surveillance and helps to prevent the entrance of microbes into the eye.
