Corneal Surface Sample For Infection Testing

Utah rates for HCPCS 65430

This is the collection of a small sample of cells or material from the surface of the cornea, the clear front layer of the eye, to check for an infection under a microscope and in a laboratory culture. It's used when an eye infection is suspected and the specific cause needs to be identified to choose the right treatment. The sample is taken with a gentle scraping motion, typically after numbing the eye.
