Vitreous Membranes and Strands. Category. Disorders Of The Vitreous. Description. Vitreous membranes are collections of glial cells, collagen cells and inflammatory cells that form on the inner surface of the retina.
Confirmed diagnosis: Infectious chronic anterior uveitis, secondary to tuberculosis, OU. ICD-10 codes: H20. 033, A18. 54.
CASE 2 – POSTERIOR VITREOUS DETACHMENT (PVD) What ICD-10 code(s) should be used There are two valid diagnoses: H43. 811 (Vitreous degeneration, right eye) and Z96. 1 (Presence of intraocular lens; pseudophakia).
H33.40Traction detachment of retina, unspecified eye H33. 40 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 H33. 40 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Acute anterior uveitis is characterised by an extremely painful red eye, often associated with photophobia, and occasionally with decreased visual acuity. Chronic anterior uveitis is defined as inflammation lasting over 6 weeks. It is usually asymptomatic, but many people have mild symptoms during exacerbations.

Posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) occurs when the gel that fills the eyeball separates from the retina. It's a natural, normal part of aging. PVD can cause floaters or flashes in your sight, which usually become less noticeable over time. The condition isn't painful, and it doesn't cause vision loss on its own.
Posterior vitreous detachment is usually diagnosed with a dilated eye examination. However, if the vitreous gel is very clear, it may be hard to see the PVD without additional testing, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) or ocular ultrasound (see Figure 2).

Retinal traction detachment (RTD) or tractional retinal detachment (TRD) is defined as the separation of the neurosensory retina from the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) due to the traction caused by proliferative membranes present over the retinal surface or vitreous.
[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9] Macula-off or macula-involving RRD refers to cases in which the liquefied vitreous has already entered the subfoveal space resulting in potentially permanent damage to the patient's visual acuity via photoreceptor cell death and retinal anoxia [Figure 1].
Thus, retinal breaks are holes in the retina that occur mostly when the vitreous body in front of the retina contracts and tugs on it. This leads to the seepage of fluid underneath the retina through the break. As a result, the retina in that area detaches from the underlying RPE.
