This is a partial list of human eye diseases and disorders.
The World Health Organization publishes a classification of known diseases and injuries called the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10. This list uses that classification.
H15-H22 Disorders of sclera, cornea, iris and ciliary body
H25-H28 Disorders of lens
H30-H36 Disorders of choroid and retina
H40-H42 Glaucoma
H43-H45 Disorders of vitreous body and globe
- (H43.9) Floaters — shadow-like shapes which appear singly or together with several others in the field of vision
H46-H48 Disorders of optic nerve and visual pathways
H49-H52 Disorders of ocular muscles, binocular movement, accommodation and refraction
- (H49-H50) Strabismus (Crossed eye/Wandering eye/Walleye) — the eyes do not point in the same direction
- H52 Disorders of refraction and accommodation
- (H52.0) Hypermetropia (Farsightedness) — the inability to focus on near objects (and in extreme cases, any objects)
- (H52.1) Myopia (Nearsightedness) — distant objects appear blurred
- (H52.2) Astigmatism — the cornea or the lens of the eye is not perfectly spherical, resulting in different focal points in different planes
- (H52.3) Anisometropia — the lenses of the two eyes have different focal lengths
- (H52.4) Presbyopia — a condition that occurs with growing age and results in the inability to focus on close objects
- (H52.5) Disorders of accommodation
H53-H54.9 Visual disturbances and blindness
- (H53.0) Amblyopia (lazy eye) — poor or blurry vision due to either no transmission or poor transmission of the visual image to the brain
- (H53.0) Leber's congenital amaurosis — genetic disorder; appears at birth, characterised by sluggish or no pupillary responses
- (H53.1, H53.4) Scotoma (blind spot) — an area impairment of vision surrounded by a field of relatively well-preserved vision
- (H53.5) Color blindness — the inability to perceive differences between some or all colors that other people can distinguish
- (H53.6) Nyctalopia (Nightblindness) — a condition making it difficult or impossible to see in the dark
- (H54) Blindness — the brain does not receive optical information, through various causes
- (H54/B73) River blindness — blindness caused by long-term infection by a parasitic worm (rare in western societies)
- (H54.9) micro-opthalmia/coloboma — a disconnection between the optic nerve and the brain and/or spinal cord.
H55-H59 Other disorders of eye and adnexa
Other codes
- (B36.1) Keratomycosis — fungal infection of the cornea
- (E50.6-E50.7) Xerophthalmia — dry eyes, caused by vitamin A deficiency
- (Q13.1) Aniridia — a rare congenital eye condition leading to underdevelopment or even absence of the iris of the eye
