Y70-Y82: Medical devices associated with adverse incidents in diagnostic and therapeutic use
Y77: Ophthalmic devices associated with adverse incidents
The conditions under the ICD-10 category "Y77: Ophthalmic devices associated with adverse incidents" refer to health issues that arise as a result of complications, malfunctions, or inappropriate usage of equipment used in eye care and treatments. These ophthalmic devices can range from contact lenses to surgical instruments used in ophthalmic procedures. Adverse incidents associated with these devices can include eye infections, injuries, and vision problems, which may occur due to incorrect use, defects in the device, or even improper sterilization practices. The progression of these conditions can vary extensively based on the type and severity of the adverse incident. Common symptoms generally involve discomfort, redness, blurred vision, or eye pain. The conditions predominantly affect the ocular system but can also potentially influence overall health depending on the severity and type of incident.
