ICD Code S05.01XA

ICD code S05.01XA is used to classify an injury to the conjunctiva and a corneal abrasion in the right eye, where there is no foreign body present, and it is the patient's initial encounter for this condition.

1. Presence of Conjunctival Injury: The patient exhibits signs of injury to the conjunctiva, which may include redness, swelling, or bleeding in the white part of the eye.

2. Corneal Abrasion Symptoms: The patient reports symptoms indicative of a corneal abrasion, such as a sensation of a foreign body in the eye, tearing, redness, or sensitivity to light.

3. Absence of Foreign Body: Upon examination, there is no foreign body present in the eye, ruling out the need for additional codes related to foreign body removal.

4. Right Eye Affected: The injury and symptoms are specifically localized to the right eye, as confirmed by the patient's report and clinical examination.

5. Initial Encounter: This is the patient's first visit for this specific injury, indicating that the encounter is for the initial assessment and treatment of the condition.
