ICD-10-CM Code for Visual disturbances H53.
8: Other visual disturbances.
H53. 10 - Unspecified subjective visual disturbances | ICD-10-CM.
Vitreous opacification is the process by which the vitreous body of the eye goes from being clear to cloudy. Since the opacification of the vitreous body blocks light from reaching the retina, it may cause mild to severe vision loss.
The ICD-10-CM code H53. 10 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like bilateral eye strain, eye strain, subjective visual disturbance or temporary visual disturbance.

As you age, the vitreous — a jelly-like material inside your eyes — becomes more liquid. When this happens, microscopic collagen fibers within the vitreous tend to clump together. These bits of debris cast tiny shadows onto your retina, and you perceive these shadows as eye floaters.Aug 28, 2020
The most common symptom of vitreous detachment is a sudden increase in floaters (small dark spots or squiggly lines that float across your vision). When your vitreous detaches, strands of the vitreous often cast new shadows on your retina — and those shadows appear as floaters.Sep 8, 2020
Eye floaters, also known as eye spots, are small, semi-transparent or cloudy specks or cobwebs within the eye. They move as the eye moves, making it difficult to focus on them, and they also may be more noticeable when you're looking at a bright background, such as a blue sky or white piece of paper.Jun 10, 2019
The common type of floater, which is present in most persons' eyes, is due to degenerative changes of the vitreous humour. The perception of floaters is known as myodesopsia, or less commonly as myodaeopsia, myiodeopsia, myiodesopsia.
Floaters are deposits of various size, shape, consistency, refractive index, and motility within the eye's vitreous humour, which is normally transparent. At a young age, the vitreous is transparent, but as one ages, imperfections gradually develop. The common type of floater, which is present in most persons' eyes, ...
Floaters are visible because of the shadows they cast on the retina or refraction of the light that passes through them, and can appear alone or together with several others in one's visual field.
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code H43.9 and a single ICD9 code, 379.29 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
The leading causes of low vision and blindness in the United States are age-related eye diseases: macular degeneration, cataract and glaucoma. Other eye disorders, eye injuries, and birth defects can also cause vision loss. Whatever the cause, lost vision cannot be restored. It can, however, be managed.
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code H53.19 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
Whatever the cause, lost vision cannot be restored. It can, however, be managed. A loss of vision means that you may have to reorganize your life and learn new ways of doing things. If you have some vision, visual aids such as special glasses and large print books can make life easier.
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.
As a medical symptom, photophobia is not a morbid fear or phobia, but an experience of discomfort or pain to the eyes due to light exposure or by presence of actual physical sensitivity of the eyes, though the term is sometimes additionally applied to abnormal or irrational fear of light such as heliophobia. The term photophobia comes ...
