About H35.37
H35.37 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for puckering of macula. It belongs to category H35 (other retinal disorders), block H30-H36 (disorders of choroid and retina) and chapter 7 (diseases of the eye and adnexa). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Related codes cover unspecified macular degeneration (H35.30), Nonexudative age-related macular degeneration (H35.31), Exudative age-related macular degeneration (H35.32), Angioid streaks of macula (H35.33), macular cyst, hole, or pseudohole (H35.34), Cystoid macular degeneration (H35.35), Drusen (degenerative) of macula (H35.36) and toxic maculopathy (H35.38).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H35.371 (right eye), H35.372 (left eye), H35.373 (bilateral) and H35.379 (unspecified eye).
