Making An Opening In The Iris

Nevada rates for HCPCS 66500

Makes a small opening through the iris, the colored ring of the eye, so fluid trapped behind it can pass forward and the pressure inside the eye can settle. It is done through a tiny incision at the edge of the cornea in an operating room. The opening is normally placed where the upper lid will cover it.
