366.53 is your code for Posterior Capsular Opacification (PCO) after the patient has undergone removal of the cataract.
Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) occurs when a cloudy layer of scar tissue forms behind your lens implant. This may cause you to have blurry or hazy vision, or to see a lot of glare from lights.
Diagnosis of a Posterior Capsular Opacification After a thorough medical examination of the eyes, the following tests may be conducted to confirm diagnosis: Dilated eye examination. Slit-lamp examination. Visual acuity assessment.
ICD-10 code H26. 492 for Other secondary cataract, left eye is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .
CPT code 67005 describes manual techniques for removal of vitreous, such as when using a surgical sponge and scissors compared with CPT code 67010 that describes using a mechanical device for removal of the vitreous.
The posterior lens capsule forms a physical barrier between the anterior and posterior segments of the eye after extracapsular cataract surgery and prevents the spread of microorganisms from the anterior chamber into the posterior chamber in the postsurgical eye.
Posterior capsular opacification is caused mainly by remnant lens epithelial cell proliferation and migration, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, collagen deposition, and lens fiber generation. All of these processes are influenced by cytokines, growth factors, and extracellular matrix proteins.
The lens capsule is a modified basement membrane that completely surrounds the ocular lens. It is known that this extracellular matrix is important for both the structure and biomechanics of the lens in addition to providing informational cues to maintain lens cell phenotype.
Posterior Capsule Opacification (PCO) is commonly referred to as a “Secondary Cataract”. In some patients, this condition may arise months to years after cataract surgery. You may notice a steady decline in your vision compared the bright, clear vision you had following cataract surgery.
Posterior capsulotomy is a surgical procedure which is sometimes necessary after cataract surgery. Cataract surgery is performed when the lens of the eye, which focuses light rays, becomes cloudy. When it interferes with vision, it is called a cataract and the treatment is to remove the cloudy lens.
Posterior capsule opacification is most often treated using a neodymium:yttrium–aluminium–garnet (Nd:YAG) laser. Quick pulses of the laser make precise ablations in the posterior capsule and create a small circular opening in the visual axis.
