It belongs to category H43 (disorders of vitreous body), block H43-H44 (disorders of vitreous body and globe) and chapter 7 (diseases of the eye and adnexa).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H43.821 (right eye), H43.822 (left eye), H43.823 (bilateral) and H43.829 (unspecified eye).
