CPT® Code 92371

The procedure described by CPT® Code 92371 pertains to the repair and refitting of spectacles specifically designed for individuals with aphakia, a condition characterized by the absence of the lens of the eye, often due to surgical removal or congenital issues. This process involves taking the patient's existing spectacles, which may have sustained damage or may not fit properly, and performing necessary repairs to restore their functionality and comfort. The repairs can include the replacement of components such as nose pads or hinges, as well as the repair of broken parts like rims, bridges, temples, or temple arms. After completing the repairs, the technician ensures that the spectacle frame is properly aligned on the patient's face and makes any required adjustments to the nose pads and temple arms to achieve a comfortable fit. It is important to note that this code is specifically used for spectacle prostheses intended for aphakia, distinguishing it from similar procedures performed on standard spectacles, which would be reported using CPT® Code 92370.
