Abnormal results of function studies of eye
ICD-10 R94.11 is a billable code used to indicate a diagnosis of abnormal results of function studies of eye.
R94.11 is used to classify abnormal results from function studies of the eye, which may include tests assessing visual acuity, color vision, contrast sensitivity, and other ocular functions. These tests are crucial in diagnosing various ocular conditions, including refractive errors, retinal diseases, and neurological disorders affecting vision. Abnormal results may indicate underlying pathologies such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, or optic nerve damage. The interpretation of these results requires a comprehensive understanding of ocular anatomy and physiology, as well as the specific testing methodologies employed. Clinicians must correlate abnormal findings with clinical symptoms and patient history to arrive at an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
Detailed documentation of patient history, symptoms, and specific tests performed is essential.
Patients presenting with visual disturbances, headaches, or systemic diseases affecting vision.
Consideration of comorbid conditions that may affect ocular function.
Acute care documentation must include immediate findings and rationale for function studies.
Acute vision loss, trauma to the eye, or sudden onset of visual symptoms.
Rapid assessment and documentation are critical in emergency settings.
Used when a comprehensive eye exam is performed alongside function studies.
Document the comprehensive nature of the exam and any function studies performed.
Ensure that all findings from the exam are clearly documented to support the use of R94.11.
R94.11 encompasses various ocular function studies, including visual acuity tests, color vision assessments, and contrast sensitivity tests, among others.
