What it is
A rare ophthalmic disorder characterized by a zonal granulomatous inflammatory reaction centered around the lens secondary to its traumatic rupture. Signs and symptoms include photophobia, ocular irritation or pain, blurred vision, redness, mutton-fat keratic precipitates, posterior synechiae, and sometimes hypopyon. Intraocular pressure may be elevated due to blockage of the trabecular meshwork by inflammatory cells or lens material.

ICD-10 codes
ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.
