ICD-10 Code H26.232 – Glaucomatous flecks (subcapsular), left eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H26.232 – Glaucomatous flecks (subcapsular), left eye
What it is
This code identifies glaucomatous flecks in the subcapsular area of the left eye lens. Use it when documentation specifically states this left-eye lens finding.
Clinical signs
Findings are typically described as flecks or opacities beneath the lens capsule. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the exact laterality and subcapsular location.
When to use this code
Use H26.232 when the provider documents glaucomatous flecks, subcapsular, in the left eye. It is appropriate for ophthalmology notes, exam findings, or problem lists that clearly name this condition. Check documentation if the record only says cataract, lens opacity, or glaucoma without this specific descriptor.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unspecified lens opacities, cataracts without subcapsular flecks, or findings in the right eye or both eyes. If the note is unclear, check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify the exact eye and lens location; laterality errors are common with ophthalmic codes.
