About the 081 Code Range
These procedures reroute the passage of contents from the front chamber of the eye or a lacrimal duct, also called a tear duct.
The fourth character identifies the body part and its right or left side. The fifth distinguishes an open approach from entry through a puncture or small incision. The sixth records a synthetic substitute, a tissue substitute that is not the patient's own, or no device. The seventh identifies the nasal cavity or sclera, the white of the eye.
