Contact Lens Fitting For An Eye Without A Lens

Minnesota rates for HCPCS 92316

Covers working out the optical and physical specifications for a contact lens for an eye that has no natural lens inside it, with the fitting itself carried out by a technician working under the clinician's direction. An eye with no lens needs a strong, individually specified correction, so the measurements and the follow-up checks are more involved than for an ordinary contact lens. Adaptation is supervised until the lens sits and performs correctly.
