H45: Disorders of vitreous body and globe in diseases classified elsewhere

Disorders of the vitreous body and globe are a group of conditions that affect the inner parts of the eye, specifically the vitreous body, which is a clear gel-like substance that fills the center of the eye, and the globe, which is the spherical structure of the eye itself. They are not stand-alone diseases but occur due to other medical conditions, as implied by their classification. Common symptoms may include blurred vision, floaters, flashes of light, and potentially loss of vision depending on the severity and the specific underlying disease. The causes are usually systemic diseases that affect the blood vessels or the immune system, such as diabetes or autoimmune diseases. Disease progression can vary greatly, depending on the underlying condition and the individual patient's health status. It is important to note that these disorders often seriously impact the visual system, potentially leading to different degrees of visual impairment.
