Ophthalmic devices associated with adverse incidents (Y77)

The ICD-10 code Y77 category identifies adverse incidents linked to ophthalmic devices, covering diagnostic tools, therapeutic aids, implants, and surgical instruments used in eye care. These codes precisely document complications caused by these specific eye-related devices.

This section includes codes like Y77.0 for diagnostic and monitoring devices, and Y77.1, which covers therapeutic and rehabilitative devices such as contact lenses (Y77.11). It also addresses prosthetic implants and accessories with detailed codes like Y77.2, which relates to complications from glaucoma drainage devices, intraocular lenses, and related prostheses. These codes help capture incidents such as dislodgement, inflammation, or mechanical failure of eye implants, facilitating accurate reporting of complications from various ophthalmic devices. Surgical instruments and other miscellaneous devices causing adverse events fall under Y77.3 and Y77.8. For anyone searching for the ICD-10 code for adverse effects tied to contact lenses or eye implants, these specific codes provide a precise classification to guide medical coding and patient care documentation.
