H30-H36: Disorders of choroid and retina
H30: Chorioretinal inflammation
Chorioretinal inflammation is a group of conditions that involve the inflammation of the choroid (the layer of blood vessels and connective tissue between the white of the eye and the retina) and the retina (the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye). These conditions can be triggered by various factors, including infections, autoimmune diseases, or injuries. Common symptoms are vision loss or distortion, eye redness or pain, and sensitivity to light. The progression of these conditions can vary significantly, ranging from self-limiting to chronic or recurrent. Any member of this group can potentially affect the entire visual system, leading to significant visual impairment if not addressed early.
