A corneal abrasion (also called scratched eye or scratched cornea) is an eye injury that causes significant discomfort, photophobia, and erythema. This occurs when there is a disruption of the corneal epithelium caused by contact lens or foreign bodies trauma, or spontaneously.
Conjunctival injury is a very common condition that presents as an ocular emergency. When conjunctival laceration has been confirmed, the conjunctiva should be examined for the presence of chemosis, subconjunctival hemorrhage, emphysema, foreign bodies, and abrasions.

For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder 'X' should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier.
Corneal abrasion is a medical condition involving the loss of the surface epithelial layer of the eye's cornea.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code S05.00XA and a single ICD9 code, 918.2 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
