Clinical Terms in This Code Range
Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the H57 range.
Anisocoria
Unequal pupil size, which may represent a benign physiologic variant or a manifestation of disease. Pathologic anisocoria reflects an abnormality in the musculature of the iris (IRIS DISEASES) or in the parasympathetic or sympathetic pathways that innervate the pupil. Physiologic anisocoria refers to an asymmetry of pupil diameter, usually less than 2mm, that is not associated with disease.
Argyll Robertson Pupils
Bilateral small pupils that constrict during near vision tasks but not in response to bright light.
Foreign Body Sensation
Feeling of grittiness or having something in the eye; frequently caused by a foreign body. Other possible causes include corneal abrasion, corneal ulcer, inturned eye lash or acute conjunctivitis.
Miosis
Pupillary constriction. This may result from congenital absence of the dilatator pupillary muscle, defective sympathetic innervation, or irritation of the CONJUNCTIVA or CORNEA.
Mydriasis
Dilation of pupils to greater than 6 mm combined with failure of the pupils to constrict when stimulated with light. This condition may occur due to injury of the pupillary fibers in the oculomotor nerve, in acute angle-closure glaucoma, and in ADIE SYNDROME.
Tonic Pupil
A pupillary abnormality characterized by a poor pupillary light reaction, reduced accommodation, iris sector palsies, an enhanced pupillary response to near effort that results in a prolonged, tonic constriction, and slow pupillary redilation. This condition is associated with injury to the postganglionic parasympathetic innervation to the pupil. (From Miller et al., Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology, 4th ed, pp492-500)
About the H57 Code Range
These disorders involve the eye or nearby structures. They include changes in pupillary function, eye pain, brow ptosis, and the feeling that something is in the eye.
H57.0 groups pupillary anomalies by type, with tonic pupil divided by right eye, left eye, both eyes, or unspecified eye. H57.1 divides eye pain by the affected eye. H57.8 includes brow ptosis and foreign body sensation, each with subdivisions by side. H57.9 is for an unspecified disorder of the eye or nearby structures.
