Objective:

To observe the effectiveness of intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment as an adjuvant treatment of vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) in children.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • IPL treatment significantly extended the recurrence interval in children with VKC (log-rank P = 0.003).
    • There was no statistically significant difference in the treatment course between the two groups (P > 0.05).
    • No adverse reactions were reported in either group during the treatment.
    Interpretation:

    IPL can effectively prolong the recurrence interval of VKC and has good safety.

    Limitations:
    • The study was retrospective and did not include a priori sample size calculation.
    • The unequal group sizes reflect real-world patient preference rather than random assignment.
    Conclusion:

    IPL treatment shows promise as an adjunctive therapy for VKC in children.

Coding Wet and Dry AMD

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is among the most common retinal diagnoses. Although the clinical features of the disease are well known, ICD-10 coding can be confusing if details such as stage, activity, and laterality are not clearly documented. Incomplete documentation may prompt questions about the medical necessity of diagnostic tests or intravitreal injections. This Q&A addresses common sources of confusion and offers practical guidance to support clear, accurate documentation.
