Technical term: HCPCS Code V2756

Summary

An eye glass case (coded as V2756 in the HCPCS) is a protective container designed to hold and safeguard eyeglasses.

Purpose

An eye glass case helps protect eyeglasses from damage such as scratches, bending, or breaking, thus extending the lifespan of the eyewear. They are especially useful for those needing to carry their glasses when they are not being worn.

Indications

• Patients who use eyeglasses.
• Individuals who need to carry their eyewear during travel or daily activities.
• People who require a storage solution to keep their glasses safe when not in use.

Preparation

Procedure Description

1. Choosing the Case: Select an appropriately sized eye glass case that snugly fits your eyeglasses.
2. Using the Case: Open the case by either unzipping, snapping, or unclipping it.
3. Storing the Glasses: Place the eyeglasses inside the case with the lenses facing upward to prevent scratches.
4. Securing the Case: Close the case securely to ensure the glasses do not fall out.

Tools or equipment used:

• Eye glass case, typically made from materials like plastic, metal, or fabric.

Setting

An eye glass case can be used anywhere, including at home, work, school, or while traveling.

Personnel
