What is the ICD-10 code for Anisometropia?
ICD-10-CM Code for Anisometropia H52. 31.
What is Anisometropic amblyopia?
Anisometropic amblyopia is the second most common cause of amblyopia. Anisometropic amblyopia occurs when unequal focus between the two eyes causes chronic blur on one retina. Anisometropic amblyopia can occur with relatively small amounts of asymmetric hyperopia or astigmatism.
What is the difference between Antimetropia and anisometropia?
According to “The Dictionary of Ophthalmic Optics” (Keeney, Hagman, & Fratello), Anisometropia is defined as, “Unequal refractive errors in the two eyes.” It also defines Antimetropia as, “Opposite refractive errors in the two eyes – one plus, one minus.”
Is anisometropia same as amblyopia?
Anisometropia can cause amblyopia (lazy eye) in young children because the brain tells the eyes to focus the same amount in each eye. If the eyes do not have the same refractive power, one of the eyes will be blurry relative to the other. The brain is then unable to use the eyes together.
What is the difference between amblyopia and anisometropia?
Children who have anisometropia, a difference in refractive error between their two eyes, are known to be at risk of amblyopia. Furthermore, most investigators have reported that the greater the magnitude of the anisometropia, the more severe the amblyopia tends to be.
What is the ICD 9 code for H04 123?
375.15
ICD-10-CM H04. 123 converts approximately to: 2015 ICD-9-CM 375.15 Tear film insufficiency, unspecified.
Is esotropia the same as strabismus?
Esotropia is a type of strabismus (eye misalignment) in which one or both eyes turn inward. Although the condition occurs most commonly in infants and children, it can develop at any age.
What is adult anisometropia?
Anisometropia is a condition that develops when the difference in refractive powers in both eyes is more than one diopters (D). Patients with the condition see a larger image in the stronger eye and a smaller image in the other eye.
Is anisometropia the same as astigmatism?
Anisometropia is defined as the absolute interocular difference in spherical equivalent refractive error (SER, sphere + ½ cylinder). Aniso-astigmatism is defined as the absolute interocular difference in refractive astigmatism.

What is the ICD 10 code for anisometropia?

What does esotropia mean?
Esotropia (from Greek eso meaning “inward” and trope meaning “a turning”), is a form of strabismus, or “squint,” in which one or both eyes turns inward. The condition can be constantly present, or occur intermittently, and can give the affected individual a “cross-eyed” appearance.
What is esotropia (lazy eye)?
Esotropia is sometimes erroneously called “lazy eye,” which describes the condition of amblyopia—a reduction in vision of one or both eyes that is not the result of any pathology of the eye and cannot be resolved by the use of corrective lenses.
