Stitch Repair of the Iris

New Mexico rates for HCPCS 66682

Places a stitch in the iris, the colored part of the eye, working through a small opening at the edge of the cornea. The suture is drawn back out through that tiny incision to be tied, so the repair is made without opening the eye widely. It closes a tear or gap in the iris or reattaches it where it has pulled away.
