Would you mind if i ask what book you are reffering to ?? My doctor's are always putting diagnosis that i can find research on but no ICD-9 on. Thanks

Sure. I have a little book put out by the AAOE (American Academy of Ophthalmic Executives). It's "ICD-9 for Ophthalmology", Editor Gordon E. Johns, M.D., Revised Sept 1, 2009.

You can order from the American Academy of Ophthalmology, Academy Resource # 012389
For inquiries call 415-561-8540

Now, I just looked up the code in the big ICD 9 book and 365.65 is "glaucoma associated with ocular trauma" under the main section heading "Glaucoma associated with other ocular disorders".
