ICD-10-PCS 08J Medical and Surgical: Eye Inspection

The ICD-10-PCS root operation Inspection (code 08J) refers to the visual and/or manual examination of the Eye and its associated structures, without making any changes to the tissues. This procedure is primarily diagnostic and captures the detailed assessment of ocular components.

The classification within the Medical and Surgical section includes specific codes for inspecting various parts of the eye through different approaches. For example, the code 08J0XZZ denotes the Inspection of the Right Eye via an External Approach, while 08J1XZZ applies to the Left Eye externally. Other codes specify inspection of the Lens (codes 08JJXZZ and 08JKXZZ) and the Extraocular Muscles using either an Open or External Approach (08JL0ZZ, 08JLXZZ, 08JM0ZZ, and 08JMXZZ). Using these precise eye inspection codes helps document the diagnostic evaluation of ocular anatomy during clinical encounters.
