H43-H45: Disorders of vitreous body and globe
H44: Disorders of globe
Disorders of the globe, also known as eye disorders, represent a range of conditions that can affect the main, spherical part of the eye. These disorders may occur due to various causes like injury, congenital defects, infections, or certain diseases. Typical symptoms may include blurred or distorted vision, eye pain, redness, tearing, light sensitivity, or even loss of sight in severe cases. The progression of these conditions can vary widely; some might remain stable, others may progressively worsen over time, while some may improve with appropriate treatment. Depending on the condition, any part or system within the eye might be affected, such as the retina, lens, vascular system, or intraocular pressure system. The exact manifestation of these disorders depends on the specific type and its underlying cause.
