Salzmann's nodular degeneration SND is a slowly progressive condition in which gray-white to bluish nodules measuring 1-3 mm are seen anterior to Bowman's layer of the cornea, usually bilaterally,,. These elevated nodules can be located near the limbus or in the mid-peripheral cornea.
ICD-10-CM Code for Keratoconus, stable, right eye H18. 611.
For an unknown reason, some eyes develop one or more creamy white nodular elevations called Salzmann's nodules. These are often mild and located at the edge of the cornea, not causing any symptoms, and can simply be followed.
Salzmann's nodular degeneration (SND) is a degenerative disorder of the cornea. Gray white to bluish nodules composed of scar like tissue form beneath the surface layer of the cornea.

611-613 Keratoconus. Keratoconus is a disease of the cornea. It is characterized by progressive thinning of the corneal stroma and a progressive steepening in the shape of the cornea.
Salzmann's nodular degeneration is an uncommon, yet potentially sight-threatening condition that may require surgery. By Paul M. Karpecki, O.D., and Diana L. Shechtman, O.D.
Corneal degenerations are changes or gradual deteriorations in the tissue of the cornea. They can negatively impact the function of the cornea, limiting its ability to help the eye focus properly. Over time, corneal degenerations can cause loss of vision, eye pain, and other issues.
Spheroidal keratopathy is a degeneration of the cornea and/or conjunctiva, characterized by homogeneous, translucent, fine, golden yellow, spherules, or globules of varying size located in the superficial corneal stroma, Bowman's membrane, and subepithelium, and at the epithelium in advanced cases.
Salzmann nodular degeneration was first described by Maximilian Salzmann. 1 It is more often associated with chronic corneal diseases2 and is not considered to be hereditary. We describe this condition in four women in four successive generations, all direct descendants.
Peripheral hypertrophic subepithelial degeneration is characteristic of middle-aged women, in whom it is typically a bilateral idiopathic degeneration of the cornea associated with ocular surface disease and reduced vision. The fibrotic lesions probably undergo remodelling, inducing changes in corneal contour.
These bumps are irregularly shaped and tend to be white or yellowish. They are caused by deposits of fat or protein and are usually located on the white part of the eyeball nearest the nose. A combination of dry eyes and UV rays from the sun can cause a pinguecula to form.
Arcus senilis (or arcus senilis corneae) is a white, grey, or blue opaque ring in the corneal margin (peripheral corneal opacity), or white ring in front of the periphery of the iris. It is present at birth, but then fades; however, it is quite commonly present in the elderly. It can also appear earlier in life as a result of hypercholesterolemia.
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 H18.451 and a single ICD9 code, 371.46 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
