mucous fishing syndrome

Here's a definition:

BACKGROUND: Mucus fishing syndrome (MFS) is a cascading cyclic condition characterized by continuous extraction of mucous strands from the eye. It is usually initiated by ocular irritation. In response to irritation, ocular surface cells produce excess mucus. A "snow balling" cycle begins when the patient extracts ("fishes") excess mucus from the ocular surface, thereby causing further irritation and a more-profound mucous discharge. To date, treatment includes eliminating the initiating element and educating the patient not to touch the eye when extracting the excess mucus.

The only thing I can some up with is 379.93 or 379.99.
Can anyone come up with anything else?

Hope this helps.
Have a great day!
