Chronic angle closure glaucoma develops slowly over time as the iris, or colored part of the eye, blocks the eye's drainage angle. Once it becomes fully blocked, the pressure in your eye increases, leading to a range of symptoms and, sometimes, permanent eye damage.

H40. 9 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 H40.
Open-angle glaucoma is the most common form of the disease. The drainage angle formed by the cornea and iris remains open, but the trabecular meshwork is partially blocked. This causes pressure in the eye to gradually increase. This pressure damages the optic nerve.

Moderate stage glaucoma is noted with a “2” as the final digit in the diagnosis code. As in the example above, moderate stage open angle glaucoma with borderline findings and low risk the ICD-10 code would be H40. 011X2 for the right eye and H40. 012X2 for the left eye.
231-233 Intermittent Angle-Closure Glaucoma.
Angle-closure glaucoma is glaucoma associated with a physically obstructed anterior chamber angle, which may be chronic or, rarely, acute. Symptoms of acute angle closure are severe ocular pain and redness, decreased vision, colored halos around lights, headache, nausea, and vomiting.
Acute angle-closure glaucoma is caused by a rapid or sudden increase in pressure inside the eye, called intraocular pressure (IOP).
People with chronic glaucoma may not even notice vision loss for years, and they may never experience discomfort. Those with acute forms of the disease can develop significant pain, nausea, and vision changes. Glaucoma treatments lower pressure within the eye. Typically, treatment programs start with eye drops.
It's the leading cause of irreversible blindness. Closed-angle (or angle-closure) glaucoma makes up less than 20 percent of glaucoma cases in the United States. It's usually more severe than open-angle glaucoma. Both conditions involve changes in the eye that prevent proper drainage of fluid.
Although there are many types of glaucoma, ophthalmologists typically group them into two main categories: open-angle glaucoma and angle-closure glaucoma. Forms of glaucoma in both categories are characterized by damage to the optic nerve which can eventually lead to blindness.
There is no curative medical treatment for acute angle-closure glaucoma. An ophthalmologist must treat angle-closure glaucoma with either laser therapy or incisional surgical therapy.
Narrow Angle Glaucoma can be more episodic and worsen slowly, which makes the eye condition leave unanticipated damage. Angle Closure Glaucoma is extremely serious and more of an immediate emergency because the pressure on the eye needs to be reduced or vision loss will occur.
