IMHO,
 It is just a matter of catching exceptions in an inner block. This whole lot easier than doing count(*) ...

  .... -- initial code
  --
  begin -- inner block begin
    SELECT description

      INTO v_desc
      FROM mytable
     WHERE indexcol1 = :v_col1
       AND indexcol2 = :v_col2;
    exception
      when no_data_found  -- aka 1403
        then null;   -- or your favourite action
    --
  end;      -- inner block ends ...

  --
  ... continue with remaining code

HTH
