ICD-10 H16.003 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of unspecified corneal ulcer, bilateral.
Unspecified corneal ulcer affecting both eyes indicates the presence of open sores on the corneas of both eyes. This condition can arise from various causes, including infections or trauma. Patients may experience pain, redness, and blurred vision. Management typically involves antibiotic therapy and possibly surgical intervention depending on the severity of the ulcers.
Complications may include scarring, vision loss, and secondary infections.
