Laser Opening Of The Eye's Drainage Channel

Missouri rates for HCPCS 0730T

A laser is used to open tiny channels through the mesh-like drainage tissue at the edge of the front of the eye, so fluid can leave the eye more easily and the pressure inside it falls. Scanning that produces cross-section images of the drainage structures is used during the procedure to aim the laser precisely. It treats glaucoma without cutting into the eye.
