H57: Other disorders of eye and adnexa

The group of conditions falling under the category "Other disorders of eye and adnexa" encompasses a wide range of eye and surrounding tissue (adnexa) disorders that are not included in other specific categories. These may involve various parts of the eye such as the cornea, lens, or retina, as well as the eyelids or tear ducts. Causes of these disorders can vary widely depending on the specific disorder and may include injuries, infections, congenital anomalies, or chronic conditions like diabetes. Common symptoms may involve changes in vision (blurry, double vision, loss of vision), pain, redness, and swelling among others. These conditions can progress differently based on the specific disorder and the underlying cause or causes. They may affect the visual and, sometimes, the immune and nervous systems. It is worth noting that these conditions are usually diagnosed based on visual symptoms, medical history, and physical examination, with some requiring specialized testing.
