(H36.8*) Other retinal disorders in diseases classified elsewhere

Other retinal disorders in diseases classified elsewhere occur when a disease that is not directly related to the eye affects the retina, resulting in retinal damage. this can be caused by systemic diseases, such as diabetes, or by a genetic condition, such as leber's congenital amaurosis. in some cases, the cause of the retinal disorder is unknown.

Other retinal disorders in diseases classified elsewhere are caused by an abnormality in the structure or function of the cells in the retina. this can be due to systemic diseases such as diabetes, inflammatory diseases, or genetic disorders, as well as exposure to toxins or trauma. these conditions can cause a variety of symptoms such as blurred vision, floaters, flashes of light, and difficulty seeing in low light. treatment depends on the underlying cause and can include medications, laser treatments, and/or surgery.
