CPT code 67335 denotes the placement of adjustable sutures on an extraocular muscle as an add-on to a separately reportable strabismus repair. The technique allows postoperative adjustment of muscle tension to fine-tune ocular alignment, making it clinically important for optimizing surgical outcomes in strabismus management. Nationally, this code matters because it captures distinct surgical work performed adjunctive to primary strabismus procedures and influences operative coding, billing accuracy, and payment for ophthalmic surgeons.
