ICD-10 Code H11.241 – Scarring of conjunctiva, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H11.241 – Scarring of conjunctiva, right eye
What it is
H11.241 identifies scarring involving the conjunctiva of the right eye. Use it when the record documents conjunctival scar tissue or cicatricial change limited to the right side.
Clinical signs
Findings may include visible conjunctival scar tissue, irregular conjunctival surface, or evidence of prior injury or inflammation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents scarring of the conjunctiva in the right eye as the diagnosed condition. It may be appropriate after prior trauma, surgery, infection, or chronic inflammation if the note specifically identifies conjunctival scarring.
Code the right eye only when laterality is clear in the chart. If the documentation is vague or does not confirm scarring, check documentation before assigning H11.241.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for corneal scars, eyelid scars, or nonspecific ocular irritation. If the record does not confirm conjunctival involvement or right-eye laterality, choose a different code or check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm both the anatomic site and laterality in the ophthalmology note before coding H11.241.
