CPT® Code 92370

The procedure described by CPT® Code 92370 pertains to the repair and refitting of spectacles, specifically excluding cases involving aphakia. Aphakia refers to the absence of the lens of the eye, typically following cataract surgery. In this context, the repair and refitting process addresses issues with existing spectacles that may have been damaged or are not fitting the patient properly. This can include a variety of adjustments and repairs, such as replacing worn or broken components like nose pads, hinges, rims, bridges, temples, or temple arms. The goal of this procedure is to restore the functionality and comfort of the spectacles, ensuring that they sit correctly on the patient's face. After making the necessary repairs, the technician will perform adjustments to ensure that the frame is level and that the nose pads and temple arms are positioned for optimal fit and comfort. It is important to report CPT® Code 92370 for these types of repairs, while CPT® Code 92371 should be used for similar procedures involving spectacle prosthetic lenses for patients with aphakia.
