Why ICD-10 codes are important
H53. 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 H53.
H54 Visual impairment including blindness (binocular or monocular) Note: For definition of visual impairment categories see table below.
8: Other visual disturbances.
Abstract. Subjective Visual Disturbances are silent adversaries that appear over a period of continued exposure and arise when the visual demands of the tasks exceed the visual abilities of the user.
Definition: Visual Loss: objective loss of visual acuity during a finite period attributable to an underlying disease.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology defines visual impairment as the best-corrected visual acuity of less than 20/40 in the better eye, and the World Health Organization defines it as a presenting acuity of less than 6/12 in the better eye. The term blindness is used for complete or nearly complete vision loss.
Visual disturbance is when you experience a short spell of flashing or shimmering of light in your sight. The symptoms normally last around twenty minutes before your sight returns to normal. Usually, there is no headache during the visual disturbance.

H25. 13 Age-related nuclear cataract, bilateral - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
The most common visual disturbances include:double vision, or diplopia.partial or total blindness.color blindness.blurred vision.halos.pain.
Transient binocular visual disturbance is most commonly attributed to migraine or orthostatic hypotension in adolescents and young adults. Ideally, the patient should have a known history of true migraines or motion sickness with an onset prior to the age of 40 years.
Distortion refers to waves, irregularities, or ripples in the visual images formed by the eyes. With distorted vision, the straight lines of objects may appear wavy or irregular.
The ICD code H53 is used to code Macropsia. Macropsia (also known as megalopia) is a neurological condition affecting human visual perception, in which objects within an affected section of the visual field appear larger than normal, causing the person to feel smaller than they actually are.
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 H53.8 and a single ICD9 code, 368.8 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Macropsia has a wide range of causes, from prescription and illicit drugs, to migraines and (rarely) complex partial epilepsy, and to different retinal conditions, such as epiretinal membrane. Physiologically, retinal macropsia results from the compression of cones in the eye.
Macropsia, along with its opposite condition, micropsia, can be categorized under dysmetropsia. Macropsia is related to other conditions dealing with visual perception, such as aniseikonia and Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AIWS, also known as Todd’s syndrome).
