H13: Disorders of conjunctiva in diseases classified elsewhere
"Disorders of Conjunctiva in diseases classified elsewhere" is a categorization for conditions affecting the conjunctiva amid other diagnosed diseases. The conjunctiva is a transparent tissue layer covering the outer surface of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids. Conditions falling under this category are generally secondary complications, meaning they occur as a result of another primary diagnosed disease. Such disorders can arise from a variety of diseases including viral, bacterial, or fungal infections, systemic diseases like autoimmune disorders or allergies. The common symptoms include redness, irritation, itching, and potentially discharge in the eyes. The presentation and progression of these disorders can vary greatly depending on the underlying disease. It is crucial to manage the primary disease to control or prevent these secondary conjunctiva disorders.
