Coding for Glaucoma. Glaucoma (ICD-9-CM category 365) is a group of conditions resulting in optic nerve damage caused by increased intraocular pressure. It can cause a gradual progression of vision loss if left untreated.
Moderate stage glaucoma is noted with a “2” as the final digit in the diagnosis code. As in the example above, moderate stage open angle glaucoma with borderline findings and low risk the ICD-10 code would be H40. 011X2 for the right eye and H40. 012X2 for the left eye.
That code is I10, Essential (primary) hypertension. As in ICD-9, this code includes “high blood pressure” but does not include elevated blood pressure without a diagnosis of hypertension (that would be ICD-10 code R03. 0).
If “blindness” or “visual loss” is documented without any information about whether one or both eyes are affected, assign code H54. 7, Unspecified visual loss.
*365.74 Indeterminate (visual fields not performed yet, or patient incapable of visual field testing, or unreliable/uninterpretable visual field testing) *365.70 Unspecified, stage not recorded in chart. It is important to document the stage in the patient's medical record.
When a patient has bilateral glaucoma and both eyes are documented as being the same type and stage, and there is a code for bilateral glaucoma, report only the code for the type of glaucoma, bilateral, with the seventh character for the stage.

The Enhanced Glaucoma Severity Staging system (eGSS). EGSS has a total of 7 stages: 0, the border between 0 & 1, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, where stage 0 are fields with no defect and stage 4 are fields with the greatest defect.
Eye that looks hazy: A cloudy-looking cornea is the most common early sign of childhood glaucoma. Nausea or vomiting: Especially when it accompanies severe eye pain. Pain in the eye and in the head: This often occurs in angle-closure glaucoma, a type of glaucoma which can develop quickly.
Angle-Closure GlaucomaAcute Angle-Closure Glaucoma. When the drainage angle of the eye becomes suddenly and completely blocked, intraocular pressure rises very quickly. ... Chronic Angle-Closure Glaucoma. ... Secondary Angle-Closure Glaucoma. ... Neovascular Glaucoma.

Glaucoma is a slowly progressing problem. On an average, untreated Glaucoma takes around 10-15 years to advance from early damage to total blindness. With an IOP (Intraocular Pressure) of 21-25 mmHg it takes 15 yrs to progress, an IOP of 25-30 mmHg around seven years and pressure more than 30 mmHg takes three years.
An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which the eye cannot withstand without damage to its structure or impairment of its function . The consequences of the increased pressure may be manifested in a variety of symptoms, depending upon type and severity, such as excavation of the optic disk, hardness of the eyeball, corneal anesthesia, reduced visual acuity, seeing of colored halos around lights, disturbed dark adaptation, visual field defects, and headaches.

The retina is the layer of nerve tissue inside the eye that senses light and sends images along the optic nerve to the brain. Glaucoma can damage the optic nerve and cause loss of vision or blindness. A disorder characterized by an increase in pressure in the eyeball due to obstruction of the aqueous humor outflow.
