ICD-10 Code H11.823 – Conjunctivochalasis, bilateral (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H11.823 – Conjunctivochalasis, bilateral
What it is
Conjunctivochalasis is loose, redundant conjunctival tissue on the eye surface. Bilateral means it affects both eyes.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include redundant folds of bulbar conjunctiva, often near the lower lid margin, with irritation or a foreign-body sensation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H11.823 when the provider documents conjunctivochalasis in both eyes. It is appropriate when the chart clearly identifies bilateral involvement, whether the finding is incidental or associated with ocular irritation. Check documentation if laterality is not explicit.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unspecified conjunctival laxity or when only one eye is documented. If the record describes another conjunctival disorder instead, code that condition instead.
Coding tip
Confirm bilateral laterality in the assessment or exam note before assigning H11.823.
