About the H43–H44 Code Range
ICD-10 codes H43-H44 cover detailed diagnoses for disorders affecting the vitreous body and the eyeball, or globe. These codes help identify conditions ranging from vitreous prolapse and hemorrhage to degenerative eye diseases and retained intraocular foreign bodies.
This range includes H43 codes for vitreous body disorders such as vitreous prolapse (also called vitreous loss), vitreous hemorrhage often linked to diabetes or retinal vein occlusion, crystalline deposits known as asteroid hyalosis, vitreous opacities or floaters, and vitreous degeneration including posterior vitreous detachment. The H44 codes address globe disorders, including purulent endophthalmitis (serious eye infection), panophthalmitis, and various types of endophthalmitis caused by viruses, bacteria, or parasites. It also covers degenerative myopia with complications like choroidal neovascularization or macular holes, atrophy of the globe (phthisis bulbi), and retained intraocular foreign bodies, both magnetic and nonmagnetic, with precise laterality. Codes here assist medical coders in identifying specific ocular inflammatory conditions, trauma-related sequelae, and degenerative changes for accurate clinical documentation and billing.
