Eye Surface Reconstruction Using Conjunctival Tissue

California rates for HCPCS 68326

Reconstructive surgery of the surface lining of the eye or eyelid using the eye's own conjunctival tissue, either repositioned from a healthy area nearby or taken from the other eye, rather than tissue from the cheek. It is used to rebuild the eye's surface after scarring, injury, or a condition that has damaged or shortened this lining. The tissue is shaped and secured over the affected area to restore normal eye movement and comfort.
