ICD-10 Code H43.01 – Vitreous prolapse, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H43.01 – Vitreous prolapse, right eye
What it is
H43.01 identifies prolapse of the vitreous body into the right eye, usually after trauma or surgery. It means vitreous gel has displaced from its normal position and is documented as affecting the right eye.
Clinical signs
Findings may include visible vitreous in the anterior segment, abnormal pupil or wound appearance, or symptoms such as blurred vision. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents vitreous prolapse in the right eye, including postoperative or traumatic cases. Code it only when the right eye is clearly specified. If the note says vitreous loss, herniation, or prolapse without laterality, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for vitreous floaters, vitreous hemorrhage, or other vitreous disorders without prolapse. Do not assume right-eye involvement if the record does not state it.
Coding tip
Confirm laterality and the exact term “prolapse” in the operative or clinical note before assigning H43.01.
