icd 10 for ocular hypertension

In ICD-10, 'ocular hypertension' is translated to Chinese as 'ocular hypertension'. This condition typically indicates that the intraocular pressure is elevated beyond the normal range, yet it has not resulted in damage to the optic nerve or visual field loss.

There are various causes for ocular hypertension, from minor issues like eye strain to severe conditions such as glaucoma. Mild increases in intraocular pressure can be attributed to prolonged eye use, insufficient sleep, or emotional stress, and often, with adequate rest and lifestyle adjustments, the pressure can return to normal. Common causes for elevated intraocular pressure include high myopia, abnormal corneal thickness, and ocular inflammation, which necessitate professional ophthalmological examination for diagnosis and tailored treatment. In severe cases, such as during an acute angle-closure glaucoma attack, there is a rapid spike in intraocular pressure, leading to symptoms like intense eye pain and vision loss, which are considered ophthalmic emergencies requiring prompt medical intervention.

For individuals with ocular hypertension, it is crucial to manage work and rest effectively, avoid extended periods of continuous eye strain; maintain good sleep hygiene; maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins A, C, and E, including foods like carrots, citrus fruits, and nuts; and undergo regular eye examinations to promptly identify and address potential eye issues. Should symptoms like eye pain or vision loss occur, seek medical attention promptly, adhere to the prescribed treatment, and avoid self-medicating without guidance.
