Y77: Ophthalmic devices associated with adverse incidents
Y77.2: Ophthalmic devices associated with adverse incidents : prosthetic and other implants, materials and accessory devices
The condition characterized by the ICD-10 code Y77.2 involves adverse incidents or unwanted outcomes associated with the usage of ophthalmic devices, such as prosthetics, implants, other materials, and accessory devices used in eye care. These incidents can occur if the device is faulty, misused, or provokes an unexpected reaction within the patient's body. Symptoms may vary considerably depending on the particulars of the situation but can include vision problems, eye pain, redness, swelling, and possibly infection. These symptoms may develop suddenly or over a period of time. This condition may affect not only the visual system but could also have potential systemic effects if an infection spreads. The problem may originate from either the device itself or the procedure through which it was implanted or used.
