ICD Code H33.3 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the four child codes of H33.3 that describes the diagnosis 'retinal breaks without detachment' in more detail.

The ICD code H33 is used to code Retinal detachment

Retinal detachment (also known as amotio retinae) is a disorder of the eye in which the retina peels away from its underlying layer of support tissue. Initial detachment may be localized or broad, but without rapid treatment the entire retina may detach, leading to vision loss and blindness. It is almost always classified as a medical emergency. Permanent damage may occur if the detachment is not repaired within 24–72 hours.

Specialty: Ophthalmology
MeSH Code: D012163
