You should code by approach. If she did external then 66183 is correct
0449T Insertion of aqueous drainage device, without extraocular reservoir, internal approach, into the subconjunctival space; initial device 
66183 Insertion of anterior segment aqueous drainage device, without extraocular reservoir, external approach
