Nyquil is a common drug used in cold, cough and fever. It contains acetoaminophen, dextromethorphan and doxylamine. Doxylamine being anticholinergic drug can cause an attack of acute angle closure glaucoma. Hence it has to be used carefully in people with angle closure glaucoma. However in open angle glaucoma it is not contraindicated, hence ...
SLT is a newer form of the treatment, which uses a slightly gentler laser. Laser iridotomy and laser iridoplasty are used to treat angle closure glaucoma or narrow angles. This is where the iris (the coloured bit of the eye) is pushed forward, blocking off the natural drainage pathway for the fluid in the eye.
ICD-10-CM Code H40. 9 – Unspecified glaucoma. What is the ICD-10 for glaucoma? H40. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. What is the ICD-10 code for glaucoma unspecified? Unspecified open-angle glaucoma, stage unspecified
If glaucoma medicines and laser treatment haven’t helped to treat your glaucoma, your doctor may recommend surgery. Surgery can’t cure glaucoma or undo vision loss, but it can help protect your vision and stop it from getting worse. There are a few different types of surgery for glaucoma that can help lower the pressure in your eye:
Unspecified open-angle glaucoma, stage unspecified H40. 10X0 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM H40. 10X0 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Open-angle glaucoma is the most common form of the disease. The drainage angle formed by the cornea and iris remains open, but the trabecular meshwork is partially blocked. This causes pressure in the eye to gradually increase. This pressure damages the optic nerve.

History of fallingICD-10 code Z91. 81 for History of falling is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
5 Glaucoma secondary to other eye disorders.
Diagnosis is by ophthalmoscopy, gonioscopy, visual field examination, and measurement of central corneal thickness and IOP. Treatment includes topical drugs (eg, prostaglandin analogs, beta-blockers) and often requires laser or incisional surgery to increase aqueous drainage.
Although 304 ICD-10 codes contain the word glaucoma, only one exists for glaucoma suspect (H40. 0).
Differences in angle In open-angle glaucoma, the iris is in the right position, and the uveoscleral drainage canals are clear. But the trabecular meshwork isn't draining properly. In closed-angle glaucoma, the iris is squeezed against the cornea, blocking the uveoscleral drains and the trabecular meshwork.
When glaucoma occurs without any underlying health condition (such as cataracts or an eye injury), the disease is said to be primary. Primary open-angle glaucoma means the disease has developed without a known cause. Most cases of glaucoma are primary open-angle glaucoma.

However, coders should not code Z91. 81 as a primary diagnosis unless there is no other alternative, as this code is from the “Factors Influencing Health Status and Contact with Health Services,” similar to the V-code section from ICD-9.

ICD-10-CM Code for Primary open-angle glaucoma, left eye H40. 112.
Glaucoma (ICD-9-CM category 365) is a group of conditions resulting in optic nerve damage caused by increased intraocular pressure. It can cause a gradual progression of vision loss if left untreated. Unless patients are having regular eye exams, glaucoma may go undetected because they may not experience any symptoms.
231-233 Intermittent Angle-Closure Glaucoma. Intermittent angle-closure indicates there is an obstruction to the aqueous outflow mechanism in the anterior chamber.
An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which the eye cannot withstand without damage to its structure or impairment of its function . The consequences of the increased pressure may be manifested in a variety of symptoms, depending upon type and severity, such as excavation of the optic disk, hardness of the eyeball, corneal anesthesia, reduced visual acuity, seeing of colored halos around lights, disturbed dark adaptation, visual field defects, and headaches.
