flap vs Lens

379.32, 379.39, and 996.53 have to do with the intraocular lens not the corneal flap done for LASIK. For the corneal flap dislocation I use 998.89

I think a better code would be 998.32 Disruption of external operation (surgical) wound. It would appear that 998.89 would be assigned in the instance of a procedure performed on the wrong body site, along with the appropriate E876.5-E876.7 code.
