Patient presents with complaints consistent with glaucoma symptoms in the right eye. These include intermittent blurred vision, halos around lights, and occasional eye pain in the affected eye. Ocular examination reveals elevated intraocular pressure IOP in the right eye measured at 24 mmHg using Goldmann applanation tonometry. Optic nerve head ONH evaluation shows cupping with a cup-to-disc ratio of 0.7. Visual field testing Humphrey visual field demonstrates a nasal step defect consistent with glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma POAG right eye is made based on these clinical findings. Treatment plan includes initiation of topical prostaglandin analog latanoprost ophthalmic solution once daily in the right eye to lower IOP. Patient education provided on glaucoma management, including medication compliance and the importance of regular follow-up appointments for monitoring disease progression and IOP control. Return to clinic scheduled in four weeks for IOP check and assessment of treatment response. Differential diagnoses considered included ocular hypertension, normal-tension glaucoma, and secondary glaucoma; however, these were ruled out based on the patient's presentation and diagnostic test results. ICD-10 code H40.111 Primary open-angle glaucoma right eye specified. CPT codes for today's visit include 92014 Ophthalmological services medical examination and evaluation with initiation of diagnostic and treatment program and 92133 Scanning computerized ophthalmic diagnostic imaging, posterior segment, with interpretation and report.
