ICD-10-CM Code for Capsular glaucoma with pseudoexfoliation of lens, bilateral, severe stage H40. 1433.
In fact, pseudoexfoliative glaucoma is the most common form of secondary open angle glaucoma. Not all patients with PXF develop glaucoma and it is difficult to predict which patients are more susceptible.
ICD-10-CM Code for Capsular glaucoma with pseudoexfoliation of lens, right eye, moderate stage H40. 1412.
Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXF or PEX) is an age-related systemic syndrome that targets mainly ocular tissues through the gradual deposition of fibrillary white flaky material from the lens, mainly on the lens capsule, ciliary body, zonules, corneal endothelium, iris and pupillary margin.
Capsular glaucoma with pseudoexfoliation of lens, left eye, stage unspecified. H40. 1420 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 H40.
It is called 'pseudoexfoliation' to differentiate it from true exfoliation which is due to heat or infrared related changes in anterior lens capsule.
ICD-10 Code for Primary open-angle glaucoma, right eye, mild stage- H40. 1111- Codify by AAPC.
H40. 1111 - Primary open-angle glaucoma, right eye [mild stage] | ICD-10-CM.
Moderate stage glaucoma is noted with a “2” as the final digit in the diagnosis code. As in the example above, moderate stage open angle glaucoma with borderline findings and low risk the ICD-10 code would be H40. 011X2 for the right eye and H40. 012X2 for the left eye.
Pseudoexfoliation (PXF) glaucoma is classically diagnosed by slit lamp visualization of white powdery deposits (PXF material) in a bull's eye configuration on the lens capsule. PXF glaucoma is the most common form of open-angle worldwide with an identifiable etiology.
Pseudoexfoliation (PXF) syndrome is characterized by the deposition of distinctive fibrillar material in the anterior segment of the eye. It is an age-related process that is associated with open and narrow angle glaucomas and the formation of cataracts.
Background Clinically, most patients with pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome reveal only unilateral ocular involvement. However, the generalized nature of the disorder suggests that PEX syndrome is clinically asymmetric rather than strictly unilateral.
Open-angle glaucoma is the most common form of the disease. The drainage angle formed by the cornea and iris remains open, but the trabecular meshwork is partially blocked. This causes pressure in the eye to gradually increase. This pressure damages the optic nerve.
When the eye's drainage system is clogged by this flaky pseudoexfoliative material, as well as pigment, the eye pressure can increase and lead to pseudoexfoliation glaucoma. This syndrome refers to a condition that involves the entire body, but manifests primarily in the eyes.
Secondary angle-closure glaucomas occur when the eye's angle (the angle between the iris, which makes up the colored part of your eye, and the cornea, which is the clear window front part of your eye) is narrow or closed by an identifiable cause such as: abnormal blood vessel growth (neovascular glaucoma)
Exfoliation glaucoma (XFG) is the most common identifiable secondary form of open-angle glaucoma in the world. It is an ocular manifestation of exfoliation syndrome (XFS), an age-related systemic disease characterized by deposition of extracellular fibrillar material in various tissues and organs.
Subconjunctival hemorrhage due to birth injury. Traumatic glaucoma due to birth injury. P15.3) Clinical Information.

A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition. A condition in which there is a build-up of fluid in the eye, which presses on the retina and the optic nerve. The retina is the layer of nerve tissue inside the eye that senses light ...
The retina is the layer of nerve tissue inside the eye that senses light and sends images along the optic nerve to the brain. Glaucoma can damage the optic nerve and cause loss of vision or blindness. A disorder characterized by an increase in pressure in the eyeball due to obstruction of the aqueous humor outflow.
