Corneal ulcer with hypopyon, bilateral
ICD-10 H16.033 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of corneal ulcer with hypopyon, bilateral.
Corneal ulcer with hypopyon affecting both eyes indicates the presence of open sores on the corneas of both eyes, accompanied by a collection of pus in the anterior chamber. 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.
