Conjunctival deposits, bilateral
ICD-10 H11.113 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of conjunctival deposits, bilateral.
H11.113 refers to bilateral conjunctival deposits, which are abnormal accumulations of material on the conjunctiva, the thin membrane covering the white part of the eye and the inner eyelids. Clinically, these deposits can manifest as yellowish or white spots and may be associated with various underlying conditions such as conjunctival cysts, pingueculae, or even systemic diseases like hyperlipidemia. The anatomy involved primarily includes the conjunctiva, but may also relate to the sclera and cornea if deposits extend or cause irritation. Disease progression can vary; while some deposits may remain stable, others can lead to discomfort, inflammation, or visual disturbances. Diagnostic considerations include a thorough ocular examination, possibly supplemented by imaging techniques or laboratory tests to identify systemic causes. It is crucial to differentiate these deposits from other conjunctival lesions to ensure appropriate management and treatment.

H11.113 encompasses bilateral conjunctival deposits which may arise from conditions such as pingueculae, conjunctival cysts, or systemic issues like hyperlipidemia. Each condition has specific diagnostic criteria that must be met for accurate coding.
H11.113 should be used when bilateral conjunctival deposits are present and documented. It is crucial to differentiate from unilateral codes or other conjunctival disorders based on clinical findings and examination results.
Documentation for H11.113 should include a detailed ocular examination report, descriptions of the deposits, any associated symptoms, and results from any relevant tests that may indicate underlying systemic conditions.
