ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H40.141 Capsular glaucoma with pseudoexfoliation of lens, right eye
The ICD code H401 is used to code Pseudoexfoliation syndrome. Its prevalence in different human populations varies; for example, it is prevalent in Scandinavia. The buildup of protein clumps can block normal drainage of the eye fluid called the aqueous humor and can cause, in turn, a buildup of pressure leading to glaucoma and loss of vision.

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.
Pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, or pseudoexfoliative glaucoma, is the same condition with the addition of elevated eye pressure and evidence of damage to the optic nerve. Pseudoexfoliation is not to be confused with “true exfoliation”, which is due to heat or infrared exposure (and which can be found among glassblowers).
ICD-10 code H40. 1433 for Capsular glaucoma with pseudoexfoliation of lens, bilateral, severe stage is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .
The cause of pseudoexfoliation glaucoma is generally unknown. PEX is generally believed to be a systemic disorder, possibly of the basement membrane of the eye. Researchers have noticed deposits of PEX material in various parts of the body, including in the skin, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and elsewhere.

It is called 'pseudoexfoliation' to differentiate it from true exfoliation which is due to heat or infrared related changes in anterior lens capsule.

A No. Medicare payment for the iStent is included in the facility reimbursement for APC 5492. On UB-04 claims, use HCPCS code C1783 and revenue code 278, together with 0191T, to report the iStent procedure. On the CMS-1500 form for ASCs, show 0191T and +0376T.
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.
Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is a major cause of glaucoma that has a strong familial association. Recent studies have confirmed that LOXL1 is a major gene associated with both XFS and XFG.
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.
Laser trabeculoplasty has been reported to be particularly effective in PXF glaucoma, due to the relatively pigmented angles. However, the duration of IOP lowering is limited with more than half of patients failing after 5 years.
Pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEG) is a common cause of blindness worldwide and tends to be more progressive and serious compared to primary OAG (POAG).
MicroPulse laser trabeculoplasty is an effective treatment that is safe and can be repeated as necessary. An age-related systemic disease manifesting primarily in the eyes, pseudoexfoliation is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid protein-type material on the surface of the lens.
A diet with a lot of saturated fats will lead to weight gain and an increase in body mass index. This can not only increase intraocular pressure, but also cholesterol levels. That means limit fatty beef, lamb, pork, butter, cheese, milk, and other dairy products.
For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder 'X' should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier.
Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (other names: Exfoliation glaucoma, Pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, Pseudoexfoliation of the lens, Exfoliation syndrome), sometimes abbreviated as PEX, is an aging–related systemic disease manifesting itself primarily in the eyes which is characterized by the accumulation of microscopic granular amyloid-like protein fibers.
Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (other names: Exfoliation glaucoma, Pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, Pseudoexfoliation of the lens, Exfoliation syndrome), sometimes abbreviated as PEX, is an aging–related systemic disease manifesting itself primarily in the eyes which is characterized by the accumulation of microscopic granular amyloid-like protein fibers. Its cause is unknown, although there is speculation that there may be a genetic basis. It is more prevalent in women than men, and in persons past the age of seventy. Its prevalence in different human populations varies; for example, it is prevalent in Scandinavia. The buildup of protein clumps can block normal drainage of the eye fluid called the aqueous humor and can cause, in turn, a buildup of pressure leading to glaucoma and loss of vision. As worldwide populations become older because of shifts in demography, PEX may become a matter of greater concern.
