What CPT code should be used for a Yag laser of an interior membrane?
 
66821 for 366.53
-58 modifier if within CE-IOL global for same eye.
Known as a capsulotomy; often times after the cataract extraction/IOL replacement (CE-IOL)
the lens capsule (which may remain, depending on the type of CE they do) can become cloudy or 'opacified'. This may warrant using a YAG laser to punch holes in the capsule to improve vision.
