ICD-10 Code H15.89 – Other disorders of sclera (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H15.89 – Other disorders of sclera
What it is
H15.89 identifies other specified disorders affecting the sclera, the white outer layer of the eye. Use it when the chart documents a scleral condition that does not fit a more specific ICD-10 code.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Findings may include visible scleral discoloration, thinning, inflammation, or localized structural change noted on eye examination.
When to use this code
Use H15.89 when the clinician documents a scleral disorder and no more specific code applies. It is appropriate for recorded diagnoses such as an unspecified or otherwise classified scleral abnormality. If the note names a different eye structure or a more specific scleral condition, choose that code instead.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for corneal, conjunctival, or orbital disorders. If the documentation supports a more specific scleral diagnosis, code that condition rather than this other-disorder category.
Coding tip
Code only what the provider documents, and check for a more specific scleral diagnosis before defaulting to H15.89.
