IMPORTANT H04.123 for dry eye syndrome.

In simple words: Dry eyes in both eyes, not caused by Sjogren's syndrome.

Keratoconjunctivitis sicca, not specified as Sjogren's, bilateral. This condition refers to dry eye, affecting both eyes, but it is not related to Sjogren's syndrome, an autoimmune disorder.

Example 1: A patient presents with complaints of dry eyes, foreign body sensation, and blurry vision in both eyes. Examination reveals diffuse punctate staining of the cornea bilaterally., A patient with a history of rheumatoid arthritis complains of persistent dryness and grittiness in both eyes. Sjogren's syndrome has been ruled out., A patient reports dry eye symptoms after LASIK surgery. Examination confirms keratoconjunctivitis sicca in both eyes, and Sjogren's is not present.

Symptoms, clinical findings (e.g., punctate staining, Schirmer's test results), and exclusion of Sjogren's syndrome.
