What Low Vision ICD-10 codes can I use?
If you’re looking for Low Vision ICD codes, there’s an abundance of them to select from. Since there are too many to list here, we selected five examples to give you an idea of what to expect when searching for such codes. Here they are:
- H54.50 - Low vision, one eye, unspecified eye
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have low vision in one eye. It comes with an unspecified label.
This should only be used if the specific eye hasn’t been identified. Once you’ve determined the eye with low vision, please use a more specific ICD-10 code like the one below.
- H54.511A - Low vision right eye category 1, normal vision left eye
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used if the eye with low vision is the right eye but the left eye has normal vision. Category 1 means that there is moderate visual impairment.
- H54.512A - Low vision right eye category 2, normal vision left eye
This ICD-10 code is the same as Item 2, but this time, the low vision is Category 2, which means there is severe visual impairment.
- H54.52A1 - Low vision left eye category 1, normal vision right eye
This is similar to Item 2, but the eye with low vision is the left, and the right eye has normal vision.
- H54.52A2 - Low vision left eye category 2, normal vision right eye
This is similar to Item 3, but the eye with low vision is the left, and the right eye has normal vision.
