Primary Diagnosis is allergic conjunctivitis (H10.45) using International Classification of Diseases (ICD) code 10 (ICD10,
2018). All forms of allergic conjunctivitis are bilateral. Symptoms of allergy-related conjunctivitis include intense
itchiness and string-like, mucusy, clear, or white discharge. (Epocrates, 2018). Allergic conjunctivitis, which is not
contagious, occurs when the conjunctiva has an inflammatory response to certain allergens, such as pollen, dust, mold,
pet dander and cigarette smoking. An exposure to these allergens causes the body to release a chemical called
histamine, which causes the symptoms we see the patient presents with redness, tearing, and itching in the eye. This
also can be a seasonal allergy response to certain things in the environment for many patients.
