About the D81 Code Range
These procedures treat the eye with radiation from a radioactive source, a treatment called brachytherapy.
The fourth character fixes the treatment site as the eye. The fifth distinguishes high-dose-rate from low-dose-rate treatment. The sixth identifies the isotope: cesium 131 or 137, iridium 192, iodine 125, palladium 103, californium 252, or another isotope. The seventh records either a unidirectional source or no qualifier.
