Ophthalmoplegic migraine is entirely distinct from migraine with visual aura, in which patients experience transient visual phenomena before, during, or after the onset of migrainous headache.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology defines visual impairment as the best-corrected visual acuity of less than 20/40 in the better eye, and the World Health Organization defines it as a presenting acuity of less than 6/12 in the better eye. The term blindness is used for complete or nearly complete vision loss.
Peripheral vision loss is the loss of side vision, leaving central vision intact. Vision Loss, Peripheral (Side) may be associated with: Carotid Artery Disease. Cytomegalovirus Retinitis. Diabetic Eye Disease.
If “blindness” or “low vision” in one eye is documented but the visual impairment category is not documented, assign a code from H54. 6-, Unqualified visual loss, one eye. If “blindness” or “visual loss” is documented without any information about whether one or both eyes are affected, assign code H54.
