H35.30ICD-10-CM Code for Unspecified macular degeneration H35. 30.
A condition in which parts of the eye cells degenerate, resulting in blurred vision and ultimately blindness. A condition in which there is a slow breakdown of cells in the center of the retina (the light-sensitive layers of nerve tissue at the back of the eye).
Geographic atrophy (GA), is an advanced form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), affecting the retina, a part of the eye that sends information to the brain to enable sight.

Dry macular degeneration is a common eye disorder among people over 50. It causes blurred or reduced central vision, due to thinning of the macula (MAK-u-luh). The macula is the part of the retina responsible for clear vision in your direct line of sight.May 8, 2021
Dry Macular Degeneration. The main difference between wet vs dry macular degeneration is simple: dry macular degeneration is the more common type of eye disease and does less damage to your vision while wet macular degeneration can result in serious vision loss.Jan 4, 2021
The macula is the pigmented part of the retina located in the very center of the retina. In the center of the macula is the fovea, perhaps the most important part of the eye. The fovea is the area of best visual acuity. It contains a large amount of cones—nerve cells that are photoreceptors with high acuity.Aug 10, 2020
Dry AMD is also called non-neovascular AMD and non-exudative AMD because it does not involve the exuding – that is, leakage – of fluids from blood vessels. Advanced cases – “late dry” AMD – are called geographic atrophy (GA) because large sections of the retina that are well demarcated (geographies) stop functioning.
Many people with dry AMD – the early and intermediate forms – never experience any significant vision loss. However, dry AMD can progress to an advanced condition known as geographic atrophy (GA) which often leads to significant central vision loss.Oct 27, 2021
Geographic atrophy (GA) is considered the late stage of the dry form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD)(1). GA is less common than neovascular AMD and it is responsible for 10-20% of cases of legal blindness in this condition(2,3,4), affecting more than 5 million people wordwilde(5).
When you use the codes for dry AMD (H35.31xx) and wet AMD (H35.32xx), you must use the sixth character to indicate laterality as follows:1 for the...
