Repair of a Cut in the Cornea

Washington, DC rates for HCPCS 65275

Surgical repair of a cut in the cornea, the clear dome at the front of the eye, where the injury has not gone all the way through the eye wall. The edges are cleaned and closed so the surface seals and heals as smoothly as possible, and any foreign material sitting in the wound is removed at the same time. Restoring the clear front surface helps protect vision.
