Tear Duct Dye X-Ray

Kansas rates for HCPCS 70170

X-ray study of the tear drainage system, taken after contrast is injected into the small opening at the inner corner of the eyelid. The pictures show whether tears can drain from the eye into the nose, and where a blockage sits if there is one. It is usually done for an eye that waters constantly.
