Ocular Blood Flow Measurement

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 0198T

The pressure inside the eye is sampled over and over in quick succession, and the tiny pulsations picked up are used to work out how much blood is flowing through the eye. The readings are interpreted and set out in a report. The result gives information about the circulation supplying the structures at the back of the eye.
