ICD Code H53-

ICD code H53- is used to classify visual disturbances, which include various conditions that affect how a person sees, such as blurred vision, double vision, or other visual perception issues.

1. Presence of visual disturbances not attributable to refractive errors or structural abnormalities of the eye

2. Patient reports symptoms such as blurred vision, double vision, visual field defects, or color vision deficiencies

3. Clinical findings indicate functional impairment of vision without evidence of organic disease

4. Symptoms may include difficulty seeing in low light, photophobia, or abnormal visual perception

5. Diagnostic tests (e.g., visual field testing, color vision testing) support the presence of non-organic visual dysfunction

6. Exclusion of other ocular or neurological conditions that could explain the visual symptoms
