About S05.01

S05.01 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for injury of conjunctiva and corneal abrasion without foreign body, right eye. It belongs to category S05 (injury of eye and orbit), block S00-S09 (injuries to the head) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S05.0 (injury of conjunctiva and corneal abrasion without foreign body), S05.01 is specifically for injury of conjunctiva and corneal abrasion without foreign body, right eye. Related codes cover unspecified eye (S05.00) and left eye (S05.02).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
