ICD-10 Code H27.10 – Unspecified dislocation of lens (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H27.10 – Unspecified dislocation of lens
What it is
H27.10 identifies a lens that has moved out of its normal position, but the record does not specify the direction, cause, or whether the dislocation is partial or complete. Use it when documentation only states lens dislocation.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings may include blurred vision, monocular diplopia, or an abnormal lens position noted on eye examination or imaging.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents dislocation of the lens without further detail. It fits cases where the chart does not identify subluxation, traumatic cause, or another more specific lens disorder. Check documentation if laterality or etiology is recorded elsewhere.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for lens subluxation, traumatic lens dislocation with a more specific code, or cataract alone. If the note gives a more precise diagnosis, code that instead.
Coding tip
Review the ophthalmology note for laterality and cause; if the record is nonspecific, H27.10 is appropriate.
