Repair Of A Torn Tear Drainage Channel

New York rates for HCPCS 68700

Repairs a torn or narrowed canaliculus, the fine channel in the eyelid that carries tears from the corner of the eye toward the nose. The cut ends are located under magnification and joined, and a soft tube is often left inside the channel to hold it open while it heals. It is done to prevent an eye that waters constantly after an eyelid injury.
