Introduction

Eye/adnexa disease refers to a group of conditions that affect the eye and its surrounding structures. These conditions can range from minor irritations to serious infections or disorders.[1] This guide aims to provide an overview of the symptoms, causes, diagnostic steps, possible interventions, and lifestyle interventions for eye/adnexa disease.

Codes

  • ICPC-2 Code: F99 Eye/adnexa disease, other[2]
  • ICD-10 Code: H57.9 Unspecified disorder of eye and adnexa[3]

Symptoms

  • Eye redness: The eye appears red or bloodshot.[4]
  • Eye pain: The eye may feel sore or painful.[4]
  • Eye discharge: There may be discharge from the eye.[4]
  • Blurred vision: Vision may be blurry or unclear.[4]
  • Sensitivity to light: The eye may be sensitive to bright lights.[4]
  • Itching or burning sensation: The eye may feel itchy or burning.[4]
  • Swelling: The eye or the surrounding area may be swollen.[4]

Causes

  • Allergies: Allergic reactions to substances such as pollen, dust, or pet dander can cause eye/adnexa disease.[5]
  • Infections: Bacterial, viral, or fungal infections can lead to eye/adnexa disease.[5]
  • Dry eyes: Insufficient tear production or poor tear quality can result in eye/adnexa disease.[5]
  • Eye strain: Prolonged use of digital devices or reading in poor lighting conditions can strain the eyes.[5]
  • Trauma: Injury or trauma to the eye or its surrounding structures can cause eye/adnexa disease.[5]

Diagnostic Steps

Medical History

  • Gather information about the patient’s symptoms, including the duration and severity.[6]
  • Inquire about any previous eye conditions or surgeries.[6]
  • Ask about any allergies or exposure to irritants.[6]
  • Determine if the patient has any underlying medical conditions that may contribute to eye/adnexa disease.[6]

Physical Examination

  • Inspect the eye and its surrounding structures for redness, swelling, discharge, or other abnormalities.[7]
  • Assess visual acuity by performing a visual acuity test.[7]
  • Evaluate eye movements and coordination.[7]
  • Examine the eyelids, lashes, and conjunctiva for signs of infection or inflammation.[7]

Laboratory Tests

  • Conjunctival swab: A swab is taken from the conjunctiva to identify the presence of bacteria, viruses, or fungi.[8]
  • Tear film analysis: Tear samples are collected to assess tear production and quality.[8]
  • Allergy testing: Skin prick tests or blood tests may be performed to identify specific allergens.[8]

Diagnostic Imaging

  • Slit-lamp examination: A specialized microscope is used to examine the structures of the eye in detail.[9]
  • Optical coherence tomography (OCT): This imaging technique provides cross-sectional images of the eye, allowing for the evaluation of the retina and other structures.[9]
  • Ultrasound: Ultrasound imaging may be used to assess the structures of the eye in cases where visualization is difficult.[9]

Other Tests

  • Schirmer’s test: Measures tear production by placing a small strip of filter paper in the lower eyelid.[10]
  • Fluorescein staining: A dye is used to assess the integrity of the cornea and detect any abnormalities.[10]
  • Intraocular pressure measurement: This test is performed to screen for glaucoma.[10]

Follow-up and Patient Education

  • Schedule follow-up appointments to monitor the progress of the condition and adjust treatment if necessary.
  • Provide education on proper eye hygiene, including handwashing, avoiding touching the eyes, and proper contact lens care.
  • Discuss the importance of regular eye examinations and the potential need for long-term management of the condition.
