The nearest I can get to this is something to do with glaucoma and macular edema. Anyone ever code this before? Thanks.

so--is phacomorphic glaucoma the same as phacomorphic cataract? if so then here is your answer..if not..we are back to square one.

Phacomorphic glaucoma is the term used for secondary angle-closure glaucoma due to lens intumescence. The increase in lens thickness from an advanced cataract, a rapidly intumescent lens, or a traumatic cataract can lead to pupillary block and angle closure.
 
The 2nd DX the doctor used was anatomic narrowing but he never mentions borderline glaucoma. I was looking at 365.02.
