H28: Cataract and other disorders of lens in diseases classified elsewhere
The H28 ICD-10 code pertains to a group of conditions referred to as "Cataract and other disorders of the lens in diseases classified elsewhere." These disorders are characterized by a clouding or other abnormalities of the lens of the eye, often resulting from other health conditions that may impact eye health. Common causes may include diabetes, traumatic injury, or long-term use of certain medications. The lens's role is pivotal in focusing light or an image onto the retina, which later transmits it to the brain as signals to interpret. Symptoms usually involve blurred or double vision, poor night vision, fading or yellowing of colors. Progression can lead to significant vision loss if not treated appropriately. Regular eye exams can catch these issues early, enabling an effective intervention to prevent further progression.
