ICD-10 Code H05.333 – Deformity of bilateral orbits due to trauma or surgery (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H05.333 – Deformity of bilateral orbits due to trauma or surgery
What it is
This code identifies a structural deformity affecting both bony eye sockets after injury or a surgical procedure. Use it when the record clearly links the bilateral orbital change to trauma or surgery.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Findings may include visible orbital asymmetry, contour change, or altered globe position after prior trauma or operative repair.
When to use this code
Use H05.333 when the provider documents bilateral orbital deformity and specifies trauma or surgery as the cause. It fits postoperative or post-traumatic anatomic distortion of both orbits, not an active eye disease.
If the note only mentions facial injury, scarring, or nonspecific eye complaints, you need clearer documentation. Check whether the deformity is truly bilateral and tied to the orbit rather than the eyelids or surrounding soft tissue.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for isolated unilateral orbital deformity, nonspecific facial deformity, or conditions without a documented traumatic or surgical cause. Check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm laterality, cause, and anatomic site in the operative or trauma note before assigning H05.333.
