Glaucoma codes are found in ICD-10-CM category H40—except for congenital glaucoma, which is found in subcategory Q15.0. Glaucoma is classified according to the type of angle closure. The angle referenced is along the exterior ring of the iris, where it joins the trabecular meshwork at the base of the cornea.
The glaucoma section codes begin with H40 “glaucoma” or H42 “glaucoma in diseases classified elsewhere.” Most, but not all, glaucoma codes incorporate both laterality and stage of disease. Laterality may be found in either the fifth or sixth digit position, while the staging code is always the seventh digit.
