Q10.3 Other congenital malformations of eyelid
Q10.4 Absence and agenesis of lacrimal apparatus

Q10.7 Congenital malformation of orbit

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
