Patient super glued her eyelids shut. What dx code would be used for this??

Thanks
 
I'm thinking one code in the T65.89XX range based on why this patient glued their eyes shut. I cant see superglue not causing some fort of toxic effect after contact with skin (Accidental, self harm, etc)
One or two codes in the H02.8XX range for retained foreign body based on eyelids involved.
Plus as required by foreign body code also rule, Z18.89 - Other specified retained foreign body fragments.
