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.

An eye that has lost all vision and has uncontrolled pressure is sometimes referred to as having “absolute glaucoma”. In such situations, the mechanism of underlying pressure elevation may be apparent (e.g., neovascular or uveitic glaucoma), whereas in other cases, it may not.

Glaucoma 365->. 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 and sends images along the optic nerve to the brain. Glaucoma can damage the optic nerve and cause loss of vision or blindness.
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. An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which ...

Glaucoma is a group of diseases that can damage the eye's optic nerve. It is a leading cause of blindness in the United States. It usually happens when the fluid pressure inside the eyes slowly rises, damaging the optic nerve. Often there are no symptoms at first. Without treatment, people with glaucoma will slowly lose their peripheral, or side vision. They seem to be looking through a tunnel. Over time, straight-ahead vision may decrease until no vision remains.
While the Eye chapter “H” roughly mimics the organization of ICD-9, now, some of the common eye-related codes such as diabetic eye disease are located outside the Eye chapter, while other codes within the chapter need modifying codes described outside that section.
The diseases of the eye and adnexa are listed in chapter 7. The glaucoma section codes begin with H40 “glaucoma” or H42 “glaucoma in diseases classified elsewhere.”
Most, but not all, glaucoma codes incorporate both laterality and stage of disease. Laterality may be found in either the fifth or sixth digit position, while the staging code is always the seventh digit. Again, if there is no sixth digit in the code, then “X” is to be used as a placeholder.
This article suggests how enormous a change ICD-10 represents for our practices. The American Academy of Ophthalmology and other medical societies are developing resources to help us with the transition.
