The ICD-10 code for Drusen of optic disc, left eye is H47.322.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H47.322 – Drusen of optic disc, left eye

What it is

Drusen of the optic disc are calcified deposits at the optic nerve head. This code specifies the left eye only, so you should use it when documentation identifies left-sided optic disc drusen.

Clinical signs

Findings may include an elevated or irregular optic disc appearance and incidental discovery on eye exam. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Use H47.322 when the provider documents optic disc drusen in the left eye, whether found during routine examination or evaluation of visual complaints. It also applies when imaging or ophthalmoscopy confirms the left optic disc involvement. Do not assign it for unspecified laterality.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for right eye or bilateral optic disc drusen, or when the record only says “optic disc drusen” without left-eye specification. Check documentation.

Coding tip

Confirm laterality from the ophthalmology note before coding, because the ICD-10-CM code is eye-specific.
