Tests and procedures that may be used to determine the cause of your dry eyes include:
Windy or dry environments can also cause irritation leading to the typical feedback loop of the eyes watering. Irritation or pain that occurs in a classic dry eye situation would most likely be due to dry eye syndrome. However, patients can also feel a similar type of pain from other causes.
H04. 12 - Dry eye syndrome. ICD-10-CM.
Consider 99213 for mild to moderate dry eye evaluation and 99214 for severe or resistant cases. The two most commonly used diagnosis codes for dry eye are: 375.15 Tear film insufficiency, unspecified. Use this code only after tear volume tests, such as Schirmers or phenol red thread, demonstrate low tear volume.
An eye exam that includes a complete history of your overall health and your eye health can help your doctor diagnose the cause of your dry eyes. A test to measure the volume of your tears. Your doctor may measure your tear production using the Schirmer test.
Other names for dry eye include dry eye syndrome, keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), dysfunctional tear syndrome, lacrimal keratoconjunctivitis, evaporative tear deficiency, aqueous tear deficiency, and LASIK-induced neurotrophic epitheliopathy (LNE).
InflammaDry is the first and only, rapid result, in-office test that detects elevated levels of MMP-9, an inflammatory marker that is consistently elevated in the tears of patients with dry eye disease. All other dry eye tests measure tear production and stability.
dermatitis: dry skin (L85. 3)
Dry eyes can occur when tear production and drainage are not in balance. People with dry eyes either do not produce enough tears or their tears are of a poor quality: Inadequate amount of tears. Tears are produced by several glands in and around the eyelids.
Evaporative. Evaporative dry eye is due to a deficient tear film lipid layer, which increases tear evaporation. It is caused by meibomian gland dysfunction, which occurs in over 85% of dry eye disease. Blepharitis, or lid margin inflammation, is both a cause and an effect of meibomian gland dysfunction.
