H55-H59: Other disorders of eye and adnexa
H59: Postprocedural disorders of eye and adnexa, not elsewhere classified
Postprocedural disorders of the eye and adnexa refer to a group of conditions that develop following medical or surgical procedures on the eye or its surrounding structures. These complications can manifest in various ways, including reduced vision, pain, redness, or unusual sensations in the eye, depending on the exact nature of the disorder. Some common causes of these disorders include infections following surgery, reactions to medical substances used during procedures, and mechanical or physical trauma resulting from the procedure itself. Over time, these disorders might lead to a steady decline in visual acuity, progressive discomfort, or potentially permanent damage to the eye or adnexa if left unaddressed. As these disorders stem from procedures, they are not transmissible between individuals. The eye, being the primary organ affected, suffers from disruption in its normal functioning, which may also impact the patient's quality of life due to visual disturbance.
