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.
In general terms, a topographic keratoconus suspect will have a localised area of abnormal steepening which is often inferior, but can be central, or, rarely, superior, and may present as an asymmetrical, truncated or skewed-axis bowtie. The different configurations seen with keratoconus are shown in fig 1.
Unspecified corneal scar and opacity H17. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM H17. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
S05.02XAThe 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.
Corneal scar tissue can be defined as any opacity on or within the corneal surface. Healthy corneas are transparent and allow light to pass through to the retina, unobstructed. Corneas with scar tissue, however, can cause distortion or complete vision obstruction, depending on the severity.
