Cataract Surgery With Eye Pressure Laser Treatment

Alaska rates for HCPCS 66988

Removes the clouded natural lens from the eye and puts a clear artificial lens in its place, and in the same sitting uses a laser passed through a fine endoscope to treat the tissue that produces the eye's fluid. Treating that tissue reduces fluid production and lowers pressure inside the eye. Combining the two deals with clouded vision and raised eye pressure in one operation.
