Glaucoma. Group of diseases characterized by increased intraocular pressure resulting in damage to the optic nerve and retinal nerve fibers. Increased pressure in the eyeball due to obstruction of the outflow of aqueous humor.

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.
ICD-10 code H40. 112 for Primary open-angle glaucoma, left eye is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .
An eye that has lost all vision and has uncontrolled pressure is sometimes referred to as having “absolute glaucoma”. In such situations, the mechanism of underlying pressure elevation may be apparent (e.g., neovascular or uveitic glaucoma), whereas in other cases, it may not.
ICD-10-CM Code for Open angle with borderline findings, low risk, unspecified eye H40. 019.
However, within this article, ocular hypertension primarily refers to increased intraocular pressure without any optic nerve damage or vision loss. Glaucoma is diagnosed when characteristic optic nerve and vision changes occur; typically with elevated eye pressure but occasionally with normal pressure.
H25. 13 Age-related nuclear cataract, bilateral - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
Eye pressure—also called intraocular pressure or IOP—is a measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye. Measuring it is like measuring blood pressure.
ICD-10 code H40. 112 for Primary open-angle glaucoma, left eye is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .
A condition in which there is a build-up of fluid in the eye, which presses on the retina and the optic nerve.
An eye that has lost all vision and has uncontrolled pressure is sometimes referred to as having “absolute glaucoma”. In such situations, the mechanism of underlying pressure elevation may be apparent (e.g., neovascular or uveitic glaucoma), whereas in other cases, it may not.
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can cause vision loss and blindness by damaging a nerve in the back of your eye called the optic nerve. The symptoms can start so slowly that you may not notice them. The only way to find out if you have glaucoma is to get a comprehensive dilated eye exam.

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.

Clinical Information. A condition in which there is a build-up of fluid in the eye, which presses on the retina and the optic nerve. The retina is the layer of nerve tissue inside the eye that senses light and sends images along the optic nerve to the brain.

Open-angle (also known as wide-angle) glaucoma (chronic glaucoma), is the most common type of glaucoma, and it is the leading cause of blindness in adults in the United States. It can only be detected by regular eye exams.
Excessive pressure from fluid in the eye can lead to a hypertensive condition called glaucoma. When ocular pressure rises, pathological changes occur that can damage vision. The fluid in the front of the eye flows through an anatomical pathway. If this pathway is blocked, pressure against blood vessels can cut off blood to the eye, leading to blindness. The physician can perform surgery to revise the flow of aqueous in the eye and reduce the pressure. Glaucoma codes are found in ICD-10-CM category H40—except for congenital glaucoma, which is found in subcategory Q15.0.
