Dry Macular Degeneration (Dry AMD) Dry AMD results when protein deposits called drusen develop under the macula. Thinning, or atrophy, of the retina may also occur. Dry AMD is divided into four categories: early, intermediate, advanced without subfoveal involvement, and advanced with subfoveal involvement.
Geographic atrophy is a chronic progressive degeneration of the macula and can be seen as part of late-stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The condition leads to central scotomas and permanent loss of visual acuity.
Wet macular degeneration is a chronic eye disorder that causes blurred vision or a blind spot in your visual field. It's generally caused by abnormal blood vessels that leak fluid or blood into the macula (MAK-u-luh). The macula is in the part of the retina responsible for central vision.
Nonexudative AMD is characterized by the degeneration of the retina and the choroid in the posterior pole due to either atrophy or RPE detachment. The atrophy is generally preceded (or coincident in some cases) by the presence of yellow extracellular deposits adjacent to the basal surface of the RPE called drusen.
Maculopathy occurs when the leaked fluid builds up at the macula, leaking into the retina causing swelling. Occasionally, the blood vessels in the macula become so constricted that the macula is starved of oxygen and nutrition causing your sight to get worse.
Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) refers to gradual and progressive degeneration of the outer layer of the brain (the cortex) in the part of the brain located in the back of the head (posterior).
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM G31. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of G31.
Brain atrophy (cerebral atrophy) is a loss of neurons and connections between neurons. Different conditions cause brain atrophy, including cerebral palsy, dementia and infectious diseases. Symptoms and severity of brain atrophy depend on the specific disease and location of damage.

Why use a diagnosis code in the absence of an approved therapy? Accurate documentation and coding will help researchers and policymakers track the visual impairment and visual function deficits that are associated with the condition. Furthermore, when treatments do become available, you will be ready to code for them.
H35.31x3 for advanced atrophic dry AMD without subfoveal involvement —geographic atrophy (GA) not involving the center of the fovea.
The phenotype of central geographic atrophy, the advanced form of non-neovascular AMD, will have 1 or more zones of well- demarcated RPE and/or choriocapillaris atrophy. Drusen and other pigmentary abnormalities may surround the atrophic areas.
The Academy recommends that when coding, you indicate whether the GA involves the center of the fovea: Code H35.31x4 if it does and H35.31x3 if it doesn’t, with “x” indicating lateral ity. Improved categorization of GA will help in clinical practice and also will lead to a better understanding of the natural history, comorbidities, and visual prognosis associated with the disease.
Prognosis. The risk of vision loss is higher with the involvement of the macula ; however, there can be difficulties with visual function in patients with GA without subfoveal involvement. The Academy Basic and Clinical Science Course3 notes the following regarding prognosis of patients with GA:
Right macular degeneration. Clinical Information. A condition in which parts of the eye cells degenerate, resulting in blurred vision and ultimately blindness. A condition in which there is a slow breakdown of cells in the center of the retina (the light-sensitive layers of nerve tissue at the back of the eye).
injury (trauma) of eye and orbit ( S05.-) A condition in which parts of the eye cells degenerate, resulting in blurred vision and ultimately blindness. A condition in which there is a slow breakdown of cells in the center of the retina (the light-sensitive layers of nerve tissue at the back of the eye).

Age-related loss of vision in the central portion of the retina (macula), secondary to retinal degeneration. Degenerative changes in the retina usually of older adults which results in a loss of vision in the center of the visual field (the macula lutea) because of damage to the retina. It occurs in dry and wet forms.
