Eye Surface Repair Using The Patient's Own Tissue

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 65782

This surgery treats damage to the surface of the eye by transplanting a small piece of tissue taken from the border between the clear cornea and the white of the eye, using the patient's own tissue rather than tissue from a donor. It is used when the cells responsible for keeping the corneal surface healthy have been damaged or depleted, often from injury, chemical burns, or chronic disease. The graft is typically taken from the person's other, unaffected eye when possible.
