The ICD code H520 is used to code Refractive error
A refractive error, or refraction error, is an error in the focusing of light by the eye and a frequent reason for reduced visual acuity.
Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code H52.03 and a single ICD9 code, 367.0 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
What are the different types of hyperopia?
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code: 1 Bilateral hyperopia of eyes 2 Hyperopia of left eye 3 Hyperopia of right eye
What is the term for blurry vision?
Myopia, or nearsightedness - clear vision close up but blurry in the distance. Hyperopia, or farsightedness - clear vision in the distance but blurry close up. Presbyopia - inability to focus close up as a result of aging. Astigmatism - focus problems caused by the cornea. The most common symptom is blurred vision.
Why is my eyeball blurry?
The cause could be the length of the eyeball (longer or shorter), changes in the shape of the cornea, or aging of the lens. Four common refractive errors are. Myopia, or nearsightedness - clear vision close up but blurry in the distance. Hyperopia, or farsightedness - clear vision in the distance but blurry close up.
What is farsightedness in children?
Children with a severe degree of farsightedness, described as high hyperopia, are at an increased risk of developing other eye conditions, particularly "lazy eye" (amblyopia) and eyes that do not look in the same direction (strabismus).
What is the GEM crosswalk?
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code H52.03 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
