Corneal Surface Scraping With Calcium Removal

Massachusetts rates for HCPCS 65436

The thin outer layer of the cornea, the clear window at the front of the eye, is scraped away and a solution is applied that dissolves calcium deposits in the tissue beneath. Clearing the chalky band that has built up across the cornea improves vision and relieves the gritty, painful feeling it causes. A protective contact lens is often placed while the surface grows back.
