2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H35.711 – Central serous chorioretinopathy, right eye
What it is
H35.711 identifies central serous chorioretinopathy affecting the right eye. It describes fluid buildup under the retina that can blur or distort central vision.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include sudden central blur, straight lines appearing wavy, and a small area of retinal detachment on exam. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H35.711 when the record clearly states central serous chorioretinopathy in the right eye. It is appropriate for ophthalmology visits, consults, or follow-up notes documenting this specific laterality. If the eye is not specified, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for left eye, bilateral disease, or unspecified eye cases. Also avoid it when the note describes another retinal disorder or only suspected central serous chorioretinopathy.
Coding tip
Always verify laterality in the assessment or impression before assigning H35.711.
