H10-H13: Disorders of conjunctiva
H11: Other disorders of conjunctiva
The "Other disorders of conjunctiva" refers to a group of medical conditions that affect the conjunctiva, which is the clear, thin tissue that covers the front part of the eye and the inside of the eyelids. Disorders in this group can be caused by various factors such as infections, allergies, or exposure to irritants. Common symptoms often include redness of the eye, tearing or discharge, itching, and irritation or discomfort. Some disorders may result in changes to the appearance of the eye, like an overgrowth or lump on the conjunctiva. Disease progression depends largely on the exact disorder and its cause. Most of these conditions impact the ocular or visual system, potentially affecting vision if not properly taken care of. Diagnosis and treatment usually hinge on identifying the underlying cause of the conjunctival disorder.
