In an ASC setting, patient underwent a phacoemulsification with iol placement and also a thermal therapy for corneal vascularization. Corneal neovascularization was in only one quadrant temporarily on left cornea. I have located the diagnosis code for the neovascularization, but am having difficulty locating the CPT code. I was originally looking at the 65450, but this states destruction of a corneal defect. Do we assume the that the neovascularization of the cornea is a 'defect'?:confused:
