ICD-10 Code H43.392 – Other vitreous opacities, left eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H43.392 – Other vitreous opacities, left eye
What it is
This code identifies abnormal opacities in the vitreous humor of the left eye that are not classified elsewhere. Use it when documentation specifies left-eye vitreous opacities or floaters without a more specific diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Patients may report floaters, spots, cobwebs, or drifting shadows in the left visual field. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation and exam findings such as vitreous debris or opacity on eye evaluation.
When to use this code
Use H43.392 when the provider documents other vitreous opacities affecting only the left eye and does not name a different vitreous disorder. It may apply after ophthalmic examination when the finding is recorded as a diagnosis. Do not infer laterality if the chart is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unspecified eye laterality, retinal disease, or vitreous hemorrhage unless the record specifically supports those conditions. Check documentation if the note describes a different vitreous abnormality.
Coding tip
Verify that the documentation names the left eye and supports “other vitreous opacities” before assigning H43.392.
