Right macular degeneration. Clinical Information. A condition in which parts of the eye cells degenerate, resulting in blurred vision and ultimately blindness. A condition in which there is a slow breakdown of cells in the center of the retina (the light-sensitive layers of nerve tissue at the back of the eye).
Age-related loss of vision in the central portion of the retina (macula), secondary to retinal degeneration. Degenerative changes in the retina usually of older adults which results in a loss of vision in the center of the visual field (the macula lutea) because of damage to the retina. It occurs in dry and wet forms.

injury (trauma) of eye and orbit ( S05.-) A condition in which parts of the eye cells degenerate, resulting in blurred vision and ultimately blindness. A condition in which there is a slow breakdown of cells in the center of the retina (the light-sensitive layers of nerve tissue at the back of the eye).
A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( H35) and the excluded code together. diabetic retinal disorders (.

H35.31x3 for advanced atrophic dry AMD without subfoveal involvement —geographic atrophy (GA) not involving the center of the fovea.
Defining inactive CNV (H35.2x2) and inactive scar (H35.2x3) in wet AMD. For the purpose of these ICD-10 codes, the Academy defines inactive CNV as the absence of IRF or SRF. However, the same eye can have active CNV after the diagnosis of inactive CNV, and treatment can be considered at the time of active CNV. 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.
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.
The codes for wet AMD—H35.32xx—use the sixth character to indicate laterality and the seventh character to indicate staging as follows:
These patches enlarge and coalesce and may be associated with a dense paracentral scotoma, thereby limiting tasks such as reading. Patients with GA may demonstrate good visual acuity (VA) until late in the course of the disease, when the fovea becomes progressively atrophic, leading to severe visual acuity decline from central blindness and forcing the patient to use noncentral retina and eccentric fixation to read and perform other visual tasks.
The Academy recommends that when coding, you indicate whether the GA involves the center of the fovea: Code H35.31x4 if it does and H35.31x3 if it doesn’t, with “x” indicating lateral ity. Improved categorization of GA will help in clinical practice and also will lead to a better understanding of the natural history, comorbidities, and visual prognosis associated with the disease.
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.
