ICD-10 Code H54.1224 – Low vision right eye category 2, blindness left eye category 4 (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H54.1224 – Low vision right eye category 2, blindness left eye category 4
What it is
This code identifies reduced vision in the right eye, category 2, together with blindness in the left eye, category 4. Use it when documentation specifies these eye-specific vision categories, not a general vision complaint.
Clinical signs
Patients typically have documented low vision in one eye and severe visual loss in the other. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation and the recorded vision categories.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents category 2 low vision in the right eye and category 4 blindness in the left eye. It is appropriate for ophthalmology notes, problem lists, or claims that specify each eye separately. Check documentation if laterality or category is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unspecified visual impairment, legal blindness without eye-specific categories, or vision loss that is documented differently. Check documentation if the record does not clearly support both eye designations.
Coding tip
Verify laterality and the exact vision categories in the chart before assigning H54.1224.
