Cystoid macular edema following cataract surgery, bilateral H59. 033 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 H59. 033 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Sometimes the macula becomes swollen with fluid. When any tissue of the body becomes swollen with fluid, the condition is called edema. When this happens to the macula, the edema fluid typically combines in cyst-like patterns; this condition is called cystoid macular edema.

Purpose: : Cystoid macular edema (CME) is a cause of decreased vision in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). We examined the incidence of CME among the subtypes of AMD using optical coherence tomography (OCT).
noun. Medical Definition of cystoid (Entry 2 of 2) : a cystoid structure specifically : a mass resembling a cyst but lacking a membrane. — called also pseudocyst.
In the retina, blisters of fluid form and swell the retina—this is macular edema. Factors likely to cause macular edema include conditions that: Cause more fluid to leak from blood vessels (diabetes and high blood pressure) Increase inflammation in the eye (surgery, inflammatory diseases)
Macular edema is the build-up of fluid in the macula, an area in the center of the retina. The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye and the macula is the part of the retina responsible for sharp, straight-ahead vision. Fluid buildup causes the macula to swell and thicken, which distorts vision.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology Preferred Practice Patterns defines Cystoid Macular Edema (CME) as retinal thickening of the macula due to a disruption of the normal blood-retinal barrier; this causes leakage from the perifoveal retinal capillaries and accumulation of fluid within the intracellular spaces of the ...

While both DME and AMD happen in the macula, the location isn't exactly the same. DR/DME is more intraretinal (within the retina and the vessels of the retina), whereas AMD involves choroidal neovascularization, the medical term for blood vessels that are typically under the retina that don't belong there, Dr.
Definition. Degenerative changes of the peripheral retina consisting of close-packed tiny cystic spaces at the outer plexiform/inner nuclear retinal level. The degeneration is very common in adult eyes and starts adjacent to the ora serrata and extends circumferentially and posteriorly. [ from HPO]
In some instances, the macula can fill with fluid, which will create cyst-like patterns. This is called cystoid macular edema. Although this condition is not life threatening, a decrease in vision can affect a person's quality of life.
