Exudative macular degeneration is a progressive eye disease that affects the macula or central part of the retina. It causes the eye to develop leaky blood vessels behind the macula, the part of the eye that enables us to see what is straight in front of us.Nov 29, 2021

Greater than 90% of patients diagnosed with AMD have nonexudative (dry) AMD; nonexudative AMD is generally associated with much slower (over decades), progressive visual loss compared with exudative (wet) AMD, which is generally associated with more rapid (over months) visual loss.Jul 16, 2021
The hallmark of the dry, or nonexudative form, is the deposition of extracellular material beneath the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) that leads to the formation of drusen. Both atrophic and hypertrophic changes occur in the RPE underlying the central macula and can lead to the loss of retinal photoreceptors.Jun 24, 2021
[1] suggested that metamorphopsia is not only caused by displacement of retinal layers resulting in mislocation of light on the retina, but also by the combination of retinal changes with cortical processing, mainly after long-standing maculopathy or after treatment of macular disorders (as neovascular AMD).Nov 11, 2015

If the same disease stage is present in both eyes, use the bilateral designation (3) regardless of whether 1 or both eyes are being treated. The treatment code should indicate which eye is being treated.
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.
Similarly, an eye that has an inactive scar could have active CNV after the diagnosis of an inactive scar, and treatment can be considered at the time of active CNV. 1 American Academy of Ophthalmology Retina/Vitreous Panel. Preferred Practice Pattern Guidelines: Age-Related Macular Degeneration.
GA often spares the fovea until late in the course of the disease. It may first present as 1 or more noncontiguous patches of atrophy around the fovea. These patches enlarge and coalesce and may be associated with a dense paracentral scotoma, thereby limiting tasks such as reading.
Code is only used for patients 15 years old or older. H35.30 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of unspecified macular degeneration. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
The ICD code H353 is used to code Drusen. Drusen (singular, "druse") are tiny yellow or white accumulations of extracellular material that build up between Bruch's membrane and the retinal pigment epithelium of the eye. The presence of a few small ("hard") drusen is normal with advancing age, and most people over 40 have some hard drusen.
The presence of a few small ("hard") drusen is normal with advancing age, and most people over 40 have some hard drusen. However, the presence of larger and more numerous drusen in the macula is a common early sign of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
