H18.613 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of keratoconus, stable, bilateral. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code H186 is used to code Keratoconus

Keratoconus (KC, KTCN) is a degenerative disorder of the eye in which structural changes within the cornea cause it to thin and change to a more conical shape than the more normal gradual curve. Keratoconus can cause substantial distortion of vision, with multiple images, streaking and sensitivity to light all often reported by the person. It is typically diagnosed in the person's adolescent years. If both eyes are significantly affected, the deterioration in vision can affect the person's ability to drive a car or read normal print.
