Y77.1: Ophthalmic devices associated with adverse incidents : therapeutic (nonsurgical) and rehabilitative devices

The ICD-10 code Y77.1 denotes a condition that specifically relates to adverse incidents associated with the use of therapeutic (non-surgical) and rehabilitative ophthalmic devices. These situations occur when the devices intended to aid in the management or treatment of eye-related conditions unexpectedly cause harm or complications to the user. Adverse incidents can be due to a wide variety of reasons, including but not limited to, device malfunction, incorrect usage, or an unforeseen reaction in the individual. The impacts can range from mild discomfort, temporary damage to the eye, severe injury leading to vision loss, or any other abnormal conditions related to eye health. Each case is specific and can present very differently, so it is important to report any unexpected reactions or problems while using these devices. These reported incidents help to improve the safety standards of medical devices and contribute to better patient care.
