Long Description: Diplopia. This is the 2014 version of the ICD-9-CM diagnosis code 368.2. Code Classification. Diseases of the sense organs (360–389) Disorders of the eye and adnexa (360-379) 368 Visual disturbances.
Long Description: Macular degeneration (senile), unspecified. This is the 2014 version of the ICD-9-CM diagnosis code 362.50. Code Classification. Diseases of the sense organs (360–389) Disorders of the eye and adnexa (360-379) 362 Other retinal disorders.
Age-related loss of vision in the central portion of the retina (macula), secondary to retinal degeneration. Degenerative changes in the retina usually of older adults which results in a loss of vision in the center of the visual field (the macula lutea) because of damage to the retina. It occurs in dry and wet forms.
• 92132. Scanning computerized ophthalmic diagnostic imaging, anterior segment, with interpretation and report, unilateral or bilateral. (This replaces the CPT Category III code 0187T. ) • 92133. Scanning computerized ophthalmic diagnostic imaging, posterior segment, with interpretation and report, unilateral or bilateral; optic nerve. • 92134.
368.2 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of diplopia. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
Whatever the cause, lost vision cannot be restored. It can, however, be managed. A loss of vision means that you may have to reorganize your life and learn new ways of doing things. If you have some vision, visual aids such as special glasses and large print books can make life easier. There are also devices to help those with no vision, like text-reading software and braille books.
Fundus photography with interpretation and report (92250) is a bilateral code by definition. So, you don’t need to use a -50 modifier or the -RT and -LT modifiers. You’ll get paid for both eyes when you list the 92250 CPT code.
But three new CPT codes were made effective to replace and increase specificity of the testing:
Fundus photography with interpretation and report (92250) is the CPT code used for retinal photos. Fundus photography is used to compare and track changes in the retina. It can assist you with treatment and management decisions.
Newer diagnostic technologies, such as heterochromatic flicker photometry with QuantifEYE (ZeaVision) or the MacuScope (Marco), are not covered by Medicare. Preferential hyperacuity perimetry with the Foresee PHP (Reichert) may or may not be covered by Medicare. If covered, it is generally billed with the visual field code 92082.
Right macular degeneration. Clinical Information. A condition in which parts of the eye cells degenerate, resulting in blurred vision and ultimately blindness. A condition in which there is a slow breakdown of cells in the center of the retina (the light-sensitive layers of nerve tissue at the back of the eye).
injury (trauma) of eye and orbit ( S05.-) A condition in which parts of the eye cells degenerate, resulting in blurred vision and ultimately blindness. A condition in which there is a slow breakdown of cells in the center of the retina (the light-sensitive layers of nerve tissue at the back of the eye).

The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM H35.30 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Disorders associated with this condition include refractive errors; strabismus; oculomotor nerve diseases; trochlear nerve diseases; abducens nerve diseases; and diseases of the brain stem and occipital lobe. The condition in which a single object appears as two objects. Also called "double vision.".
