H33.051ICD-10 code H33. 051 for Total retinal detachment, right eye is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .
Unspecified retinal detachment with retinal break, unspecified eye. H33. 009 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
A retinal tear or break is any tear leading to a discontinuity in the full thickness of the retina. It allows fluid to seep underneath the sensory or photoreceptor layer of the retina, peeling it off from the retinal pigment epithelium underneath. This is called rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.
Thus, a retinal break is a tiny hole(without any traction or pressure points on the retina) or tear(which develops due to any traction or pressure on the retina) in the retina. It can occur in the periphery of the retina. Sometimes, the vitreous gel may also tear the retina by pulling it away.
CASE 3 – RHEGMATOGENOUS RETINAL DETACHMENT What ICD-10 code(s) should be used There are two pertinent diagnosis codes: H33. 012 (RD, single defect, left eye) and Z98. 89 (Other specified post-procedural state).
Retinal detachment describes an emergency situation in which a critical layer of tissue (the retina) at the back of the eye pulls away from the layer of blood vessels that provides it with oxygen and nutrients. Retinal detachment is often accompanied by flashes and floaters in your vision.
Retinal tears refer to small rips in the retinal tissue. The retina has not full detached, but potions of it are no longer attached to the back of the eye as it ought to be. A retinal tear may be a precursor to retinal detachment.
There are many causes of retinal detachment, but the most common causes are aging or an eye injury. There are 3 types of retinal detachment: rhegmatogenous, tractional, and exudative. Each type happens because of a different problem that causes your retina to move away from the back of your eye.
Your retina could tear before it detaches. A torn retina usually has the same symptoms as a detached one. If your retina gets torn, the fluid inside your eye can leak underneath and separate the retina from its underlying tissue. That's a retinal detachment.
Retinal examination. The doctor may use an instrument with a bright light and special lenses to examine the back of your eye, including the retina. This type of device provides a highly detailed view of your whole eye, allowing the doctor to see any retinal holes, tears or detachments.
Rhegmatogenous: The most common cause of retinal detachment happens when there's a small tear in your retina. Eye fluid called vitreous can travel through the tear and collect behind the retina. It then pushes the retina away, detaching it from the back of your eye.
Aging, eye trauma, eye surgery or being drastically nearsighted may cause retinal tears or detachments. If not treated properly, a retinal tear may lead to retinal detachment. A retinal detachment occurs when the retina is pulled away from its normal position of lining the inside eyewall.

The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM H33.01 became effective on October 1, 2021.
H33.011 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of retinal detachment with single break, right eye. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code H33.011 and a single ICD9 code, 361.01 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Retinal detachment with multiple breaks 1 H33.02 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM H33.02 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of H33.02 - other international versions of ICD-10 H33.02 may differ.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM H33.02 became effective on October 1, 2021.
