ICD-10 Code H44.821 – Luxation of globe, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H44.821 – Luxation of globe, right eye
What it is
This code identifies displacement of the right eyeball from its normal position in the orbit. Use it when documentation states the globe is luxated, dislocated, or prolapsed in the right eye.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Findings may include obvious abnormal globe position, severe ocular trauma, pain, and impaired vision, but you should code only what is recorded.
When to use this code
Use H44.821 when the provider documents luxation of the right globe as the diagnosis or a confirmed finding. It is appropriate for traumatic or nontraumatic cases if the record specifically identifies the right eye. If laterality is unclear, check documentation before assigning the code.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for general eye injury, corneal injury, or unspecified globe displacement without right-eye documentation. If the record describes another orbital disorder instead, code that condition.
Coding tip
Always verify laterality and the exact term used; “right eye” must be documented to support H44.821.
