Breaking Up And Removing The Eye's Natural Lens

Maine rates for HCPCS 66850

Removes the natural lens of the eye by breaking it into fragments with an ultrasonic probe and suctioning the pieces out through a small opening. It clears a cloudy or damaged lens so light can reach the back of the eye again. Fitting a replacement lens implant, where one is used, is handled as a separate step.
