Eye disease

(Redirected from Eye diseases)

This is a partial list of human eye diseases and disorders.

The World Health Organization (WHO) publishes a classification of known diseases and injuries, the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, or ICD-10. This list uses that classification.

H00-H06 Disorders of eyelid, lacrimal system and orbit

edit

H10-H13 Disorders of conjunctiva

edit

H15-H22 Disorders of sclera, cornea, iris and ciliary body

edit

H25-H28 Disorders of lens

edit
  • (H25) Cataract — the lens becomes opaque
  • (H26) Myopia - close object appears clearly, but far ones do not
  • (H27) Hypermetropia - Nearby objects appears blurry
  • (H28) Presbyopia - inability to focus on nearby objects

H30-H36 Disorders of choroid and retina

edit

H30 Chorioretinal inflammation

(H32) Chorioretinal disorders in diseases classified elsewhere

H33 Retinal detachments and breaks

edit
  • (H33) Retinal detachment with retinal break
    • Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment
  • (H33.1) Retinoschisis and retinal cysts — the retina separates into several layers and may detach
    • Cyst of ora serrata
    • Parasitic cyst of retina NOS
    • Pseudocyst of retina
      • Excludes: congenital retinoschisis (Q14.1)
        • microcystoid degeneration of retina (H35.4)
  • (H33.2) Serous retinal detachment
  • (H33.3) Retinal breaks without detachment
    • Horseshoe tear of retina, without detachment
    • Round hole of retina, without detachment
    • Operculum
    • Retinal break NOS
      • Excludes: chorioretinal scars after surgery for detachment (H59.8)
      • peripheral retinal degeneration without break (H35.4)
  • (H33.4) Traction detachment of retina
  • (H33.5) Other retinal detachments[2]

H34 Retinal vascular occlusions

edit

A retinal vessel occlusion is a blockage in the blood vessel at the back of your eye that can result in sight loss.

H35 Other retinal disorders

edit

H36 Retinal disorders in diseases classified elsewhere

edit

H40-H42 Glaucoma

edit

H43-H45 Disorders of vitreous body and globe

edit

H43 Disorders of vitreous body

edit

H44 Disorders of globe

edit

Includes: disorders affecting multiple structures of eye

H45 Disorders of vitreous body and globe in diseases classified elsewhere

edit

H46-H48 Disorders of optic nerve and visual pathways

edit

H49-H52 Disorders of ocular muscles, binocular movement, accommodation and refraction

edit
  • (H49-H50) Strabismus (Crossed eye/Wandering eye/Walleye) — the eyes do not point in the same direction
  • H52 Disorders of refraction and accommodation
    • (H52.0) Hypermetropia (Farsightedness) — the inability to focus on near objects (and in extreme cases, any objects)
    • (H52.1) Myopia (Nearsightedness) — distant objects appear blurred
    • (H52.2) Astigmatism — the cornea or the lens of the eye is not perfectly spherical, resulting in different focal points in different planes
    • (H52.3) Anisometropia — the lenses of the two eyes have different focal lengths
    • (H52.4) Presbyopia — a condition that occurs with growing age and results in the inability to focus on close objects
    • (H52.5) Disorders of accommodation

H53-H54.9 Visual disturbances and blindness

edit
  • (H53.0) Amblyopia (lazy eye) — poor or blurry vision due to either no transmission or poor transmission of the visual image to the brain
  • (H53.0) Leber's congenital amaurosis — genetic disorder; appears at birth, characterised by sluggish or no pupillary responses
  • (H53.1, H53.4) Scotoma (blind spot) — an area impairment of vision surrounded by a field of relatively well-preserved vision. See also Anopsia.
  • (H53.5) Color blindness — the inability to perceive differences between some or all colors that other people can distinguish
  • (H53.6) Nyctalopia (Night blindness) — a condition making it difficult or impossible to see in the dark
  • (H54) Blindness — the brain does not receive optical information, through various causes

H55-H59 Other disorders of eye and adnexa

edit

Other codes

edit

The following are not classified as diseases of the eye and adnexa (H00-H59) by the World Health Organization:[4]

  • (B36.1) Keratomycosis — fungal infection of the cornea
  • (E50.6-E50.7) Xerophthalmia — dry eyes, caused by vitamin A deficiency
  • (Q13.1) Aniridia — a rare congenital eye condition leading to underdevelopment or even absence of the iris of the eye
