H30-H36: Disorders of choroid and retina
H32: Chorioretinal disorders in diseases classified elsewhere
Chorioretinal disorders in diseases classified elsewhere constitutes a range of conditions that typically involve inflammation or other abnormalities in the choroid and retina, two important structures in the eye. The choroid contains a network of blood vessels supplying nutrients and oxygen to the eye, and the retina helps process visual information. In these conditions, the chorioretinal disorders are secondary, meaning they occur as a result of other underlying diseases present anywhere in the body. As a result, symptoms can vary significantly but might include blurred or distorted vision, visual floaters, or flashes. The disease progression and level of severity largely depend on the nature of the primary disease. It's worth noting that while these disorders affect the visual system, they are indicative of broader systemic issues, not just eye-related health problems.
