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.

Wet macular degeneration is a chronic eye disorder that causes blurred vision or a blind spot in your visual field. It's generally caused by abnormal blood vessels that leak fluid or blood into the macula (MAK-u-luh). The macula is in the part of the retina responsible for central vision.Dec 11, 2020
Greater than 90% of patients diagnosed with AMD have nonexudative (dry) AMD; nonexudative AMD is generally associated with much slower (over decades), progressive visual loss compared with exudative (wet) AMD, which is generally associated with more rapid (over months) visual loss.Jul 16, 2021
Because the disease happens as you get older, it's often called age-related macular degeneration. It usually doesn't cause blindness but might cause severe vision problems. Another form of macular degeneration, called Stargardt disease or juvenile macular degeneration, affects children and young adults.Nov 22, 2021

Macular mottling is evident at an early age with attenuation and narrowing of the retinal arterioles. The pigmentary changes are salt-and-pepper in appearance but there are also areas of RPE atrophy with relative sparing of the fovea. Pigment clumping in the shape of bone spicules has been observed in the periphery.

Dry AMD is a slow deterioration of the cells of the macula, often over many years, as the retinal cells die off and are not renewed. The term 'dry' does not mean the person has dry eyes, just that the condition is not wet AMD. The progression of dry AMD varies, but people often carry on as normal for some time.
Age-related macular degeneration results from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Many of these factors have been identified, but some remain unknown. Researchers have considered changes in many genes as possible risk factors for age-related macular degeneration.Oct 4, 2021

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).
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).
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.
