S05.02XAThe general ICD-10 code to describe the initial evaluation of a patient with a corneal abrasion using ICD-10 is: S05. 02XA – Injury of conjunctiva and corneal abrasion without foreign body, left eye, initial encounter.
Exposure keratopathy (EK) is damage to the cornea that occurs primarily from prolonged exposure of the ocular surface to the outside environment. EK can lead to ulceration, microbial keratitis, and permanent vision loss from scarring.

It is a sign of inflammation of the anterior uvea and iris, i.e. iritis, which is a form of anterior uveitis. The exudate settles at the dependent aspect of the eye due to gravity. It can be sterile (in bacterial corneal ulcer) or not sterile (fungal corneal ulcer).
Blepharoconjunctivitis is an ophthalmic disease that combines the features of blepharitis and conjunctivitis. It is characterized by inflammation of the eyelid margin (blepharitis) and the surrounding conjunctiva (conjunctivitis).
This treatment involves the usual blepharitis regimen, which commonly includes warm compresses and improved lid hygiene with frequent eyelid scrubs [7, 10]. Topical and/or systemic antibiotics are often added in acute presentation, with the oral antibiotic usually being a macrolide or a tetracycline [6, 7, 10].

In conjunctival laceration, the tissue is torn and split, revealing bare sclera beneath. In these cases, the trauma itself acts as an antigen and sets off an inflammatory cascade resulting in vasodilation and edema of the involved and surrounding tissues.
Most corneal ulcers heal in two or three weeks.
You should carry out good 'lid hygiene' once or twice a day (even when you do not have any symptoms), to prevent marginal keratitis from recurring.
A corneal ulcer is a medical emergency. Without treatment, it might spread to the rest of your eye, and you could lose some or all of your eyesight in a short time. You can also get a hole in your cornea, scarring, cataracts, or glaucoma. With treatment, most corneal ulcers get better in 2 or 3 weeks.
Is keratitis contagious? Keratitis may be transmitted through an infection. This can happen if you come into contact with an infectious substance and then touch your eyes. It can also occur if you get sick and then the infection spreads to your eyes.
Corneal ulcer, or ulcerative keratitis, is an inflammatory or more seriously, infective condition of the cornea involving disruption of its epithelial layer with involvement of the corneal stroma. It is a common condition in humans particularly in the tropics and the agrarian societies.
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 H16.032 and a single ICD9 code, 370.04 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
