re: CPT® code

LASIK FLAP LIFT - OU - BOTH EYES- unlisted code.

There is no specific CPT® code for PTK. CPT® code 65400 (excision of lesion, cornea [keratectomy, lamellar, partial]) may be used. Superficial mechanical keratectomy may be coded by 65435-65436 (removal of corneal epithelium). CPT® code 65710 describes a lamellar keratoplasty.
