2018/2019 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H18.603. Keratoconus, unspecified, bilateral. H18.603 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
In patients with keratoconus, the incidence of acute corneal hydrops is reported to be between 0.2% and 2.8%. It also occurs rarely in keratoglobus and pellucid marginal degeneration.
It is routinely used to monitor progression of keratoconus and in evaluation of other corneal ectasias. In patients with acute corneal hydrops and without a known history of ectasia, tomography of the uninvolved eye may be useful for diagnosis.
The episode is often reported to be spontaneous but may be precipitated by coughing, sneezing, nose-blowing, eye-rubbing, strenuous exercise, or other activities that lead to elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). Providers should inquire about a history of keratoconus or other corneal ectasia and risk factors such as atopy and eye rubbing.
ICD-10 code H18. 6 for Keratoconus is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .

Keeping it simple is typically best. The general ICD-10 code to describe the initial evaluation of a patient with a corneal abrasion using ICD-10 is: S05. 02XA – Injury of conjunctiva and corneal abrasion without foreign body, left eye, initial encounter.
ICD-10 code R60. 9 for Edema, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
What causes keratoconus? Although keratoconus has been studied for decades, it remains poorly understood. The definitive cause of keratoconus is unknown, though it is believed that the predisposition to develop the disease is present at birth. A common finding in keratoconus is the loss of collagen in the cornea.

When coding with CPT for a corneal abrasion, you will have an office visit to code; in this case either a 920X2 or a 992XX code could be appropriate to use for describing your professional services in examining the patient, determining the primary diagnosis and developing a treatment plan.
Fluorescein is a green-tinted dye that fluoresces (glows) under blue light. A small amount of this dye applied to the surface of the eye (on top of the cornea) can be used to detect corneal injuries.

Lower extremity edema is the accumulation of fluid in the lower legs, which may or may not include the feet (pedal edema). It is typically caused by one of three mechanisms. The first is venous edema caused by increased capillary permeability, resulting in a fluid shift from the veins to the interstitial space.
