2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H27.132 – Posterior dislocation of lens, left eye

What it is

This code identifies a lens that has moved backward from its normal position in the left eye. It indicates posterior dislocation of the crystalline lens, which can affect vision and eye alignment.

Clinical signs

Findings may include blurred vision, monocular diplopia, or an abnormal lens position on eye examination. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Use H27.132 when the provider documents posterior dislocation of the lens specifically in the left eye. It is appropriate for traumatic or nontraumatic cases if the record clearly identifies the left eye and posterior displacement. Check documentation when laterality or type of dislocation is unclear.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for lens subluxation, anterior dislocation, or unspecified eye laterality. If the note only says “lens dislocation” without left-eye detail, check documentation.

Coding tip

Confirm that the record states posterior dislocation and left eye before assigning H27.132.
