The ICD-10-CM code H35.372 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like epiretinal membrane or epiretinal membrane of left eye.
Macular cyst, hole, or pseudohole, left eye. H35.342 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM H35.342 became effective on October 1, 2019.
Disease. An epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a fibrocellular tissue found on the inner surface of the retina. It is semi-translucent and proliferates on the surface of the internal limiting membrane.

An epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a fibrocellular tissue found on the inner surface of the retina. It is semi-translucent and proliferates on the surface of the internal limiting membrane.
Macular Pucker, also known as an Epiretinal Membrane (ERM) is an eye condition that affects the macula, the sweet spot of center vision. The back of your eye is lined by the retina, the light seeing layer in the back of the eye.
What is an Epiretinal Membrane? An epiretinal membrane is a condition where a very thin layer of scar tissue forms on the surface of the retina in an area that is responsible for our sharpest vision. The part of the eye affected by an epiretinal membrane is called the macula.
Epiretinal membrane Diagnosis Most cases of Epiretinal membrane are diagnosed during a routine eye test. Your optometrist can use Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT). It is an imaging method used by an ophthalmologist to measure the severity of the condition.
The conjunctiva is the mucous membrane that lines the eyelid and eye surface. In a healthy eye, the conjunctiva is clear and colourless. The sclera is the tough outer layer of the eyeball (the white of the eye).
An epiretinal membrane peel is an advanced procedure used to remove scar tissue over the macula, the central part of the eye's retina responsible for near, detailed vision.An epiretinal membrane peel is performed in conjunction with vitrectomy surgery.
This is called a vitreous detachment and it happens to everyone as they get older. In some people, a membrane forms on the surface of the retina. This membrane can create wrinkles or “puckers.” If the membrane forms over a part of the retina called the macula, it can cause a macular pucker.
Macular degeneration involves the breakdown of or damage to the macula typically associated with age (dry macular degeneration) or with the growth and leakage of abnormal blood vessels (wet macular degeneration). In contrast, macular pucker is the result of scar tissue on the retina.
Lamellar hole-associated epiretinal proliferation (LHEP) is a newly identified OCT phenomenon that consists of a thick layer of moderately reflective material that fills the space between the inner border of the ERM and the retinal nerve fibre layer.

Patients with moderate visual loss, recent onset of symptoms, or progression are the best candidates for ERM surgery. Functional outcome in patients with poor initial visual acuity or long-standing disease is unsatisfactory.
Macular degeneration - a disease that destroys your sharp, central vision. Diabetic eye disease. Retinal detachment - a medical emergency, when the retina is pulled away from the back of the eye. Retinoblastoma - cancer of the retina. It is most common in young children.
H35.372 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of puckering of macula, left eye. The code H35.372 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
An epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a fibrocellular tissue found on the inner surface of the retina. It is semi-translucent and proliferates on the surface of the internal limiting membrane.
Careful examination of the fellow eye is also recommended given that ERMs are bilateral in approximately 10-20% of patients.
