There are three options to correct astigmatism – glasses, contact lenses or laser eye surgery. Prescription glasses or contact lenses can correct astigmatism (along with long-sightedness or short-sightedness, if necessary). Alternatively, laser eye surgery can correct astigmatism and give you clearer vision.
• Astigmatism Causes -1 Hereditary factors- The main reason why astigmatism develops is because it can be hereditary and passed on from one generation to another generation. It could be that you have acquired this problem from one of your parents with a history of astigmatism.

So, what exactly is astigmatism? Astigmatism is a common vision problem and refractive error that results in your vision becoming blurry. However, unlike with nearsightedness or farsightedness, astigmatism can make objects both near and far appear out of focus.
ICD-10 | Astigmatism (H52. 2)
ICD-10 Code for Regular astigmatism, bilateral- H52. 223- Codify by AAPC.
Overview. Astigmatism (uh-STIG-muh-tiz-um) is a common and generally treatable imperfection in the curvature of the eye that causes blurred distance and near vision. Astigmatism occurs when either the front surface of the eye (cornea) or the lens inside the eye has mismatched curves.
ICD-10 Code for Irregular astigmatism, bilateral- H52. 213- Codify by AAPC.
ICD-10 code H52. 203 for Unspecified astigmatism, bilateral is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .
You may have heard your eye doctor talk about astigmatism. It's actually quite common and can be diagnosed as a routine part of a comprehensive eye exam. It means there is an imperfection in the curvature of the eye's cornea or lens.
ICD-10 code H52. 13 for Myopia, bilateral is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .
The two main types of astigmatism are corneal and lenticular. A corneal astigmatism happens when there's a defect or distortion in the cornea. A lenticular astigmatism happens when there's a distortion in the lens.
ICD-10 | Hypermetropia, bilateral (H52. 03)
Regular astigmatism, bilateral H52. 223 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 H52. 223 became effective on October 1, 2021.

H52.209 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of unspecified astigmatism, unspecified eye. The code H52.209 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code H52.209 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like astigmatism, corneal graft astigmatism, high astigmatism, higher-order wavefront aberration, mixed astigmatism , myopic astigmatism, etc.#N#Unspecified diagnosis codes like H52.209 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.
Myopia, or nearsightedness - clear vision close up but blurry in the distance. Hyperopia, or farsightedness - clear vision in the distance but blurry close up. Presbyopia - inability to focus close up as a result of aging. Astigmatism - focus problems caused by the cornea. The most common symptom is blurred vision.
A refractive error, or refraction error, is an error in the focusing of light by the eye and a frequent reason for reduced visual acuity.
