ICD-10-CM Code for Ocular hypertension, bilateral H40. 053.
Ocular hypertension is a risk factor in the development of glaucoma. The presence of ocular hypertension may not mean an individual has glaucoma. This is important because glaucoma is an eye disease that damages the optic nerve in a way that can lead to blindness.
Ocular hypertension is when the pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure or IOP) is higher than normal. With ocular hypertension, the front of the eye does not drain fluid properly. This causes eye pressure to build up. Higher than normal eye pressure can cause glaucoma.
ICD-10 code H40. 1133 for Primary open-angle glaucoma, bilateral, severe stage is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .
This condition is common in people who have hypertension or high blood pressure. It is a major risk factor for glaucoma, but does not necessarily mean you have glaucoma. Ocular hypertension just means your eye pressure is higher than normal, but you will be considered a “glaucoma suspect”.
In fact, according to two studies performed in Australia, patients with ocular hypertension are much more common than those who have primary open angle glaucoma.
“Glaucoma suspect” describes a person who has borderline signs of glaucoma. It might be the appearance of the optic disc or retinal nerve fiber layer. If only the pressure is elevated, we call it ocular hypertension. The decision of treating or not treating these patients depends on the risk profile.
The cause of elevated eye pressure, known as ocular hypertension, is an imbalance in production and drainage of aqueous humor, the fluid inside your eye. Pressure builds as the eye creates new fluid and the channels which normally drain the aqueous humor become obstructed or damaged.
The positive influence of diabetes with ocular hypertension was consistent even after adjustment for central corneal thickness. In conclusion, diabetes, elevated HbA1c, and increased serum glucose are significant contributing factors for elevated IOP.
