Disorders of globe (H44) ICD-10-CM

Copper deposits in the eye due to intraocular foreign bodies containing copper.

Suppurative inflammation of the tissues of the internal structures of the eye frequently associated with an infection.

Intraocular hemorrhage from the vessels of various tissues of the eye.

An abnormal eye finding involving the appearance of a bright white reflection upon shining light through the pupil.

Excessive axial myopia associated with complications (especially posterior staphyloma and CHOROIDAL NEOVASCULARIZATION) that can lead to BLINDNESS.

Lower than normal intraocular pressure, which ranges from 12 to 22 mm Hg, or an IOP low enough to cause visual impairment.

Granulomatous uveitis which follows in one eye after a penetrating injury to the other eye; the secondarily affected eye is called the sympathizing eye, and the injured eye is called the exciting or activating eye.

Acute suppurative inflammation of the inner eye with necrosis of the sclera (and sometimes the cornea) and extension of the inflammation into the orbit. Pain may be severe and the globe may rupture. In endophthalmitis the globe does not rupture.

Inflammation in which both the anterior and posterior segments of the uvea are involved and a specific focus is not apparent. It is often severe and extensive and a serious threat to vision. Causes include systemic diseases such as tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, and syphilis, as well as malignancies. The intermediate segment of the eye is not involved.

Infection of the interior of the eye, especially the aqueous and/or vitreous humor, by a parasite.
