Medication Injection into Front Eye Chamber

California rates for HCPCS 66030

This procedure places medication directly into the front chamber of the eye, the fluid-filled space between the clear cornea and the iris. It is performed as a stand-alone treatment rather than as one step within a larger eye operation. Delivering medication straight into this space allows it to act quickly on structures inside the eye.
