ICD-10 Code A54.30 – Gonococcal infection of eye, unspecified (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A54.30 – Gonococcal infection of eye, unspecified
What it is
This code identifies a gonococcal infection involving the eye when the record does not specify the exact ocular site. Use it for gonorrhea affecting ocular tissues, but not for other causes of conjunctivitis.
Clinical signs
Typical findings may include marked eye redness, swelling, pain, and purulent discharge. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation, especially when the note confirms gonococcal involvement but does not name a more specific eye diagnosis.
When to use this code
Use A54.30 when the provider documents gonococcal eye infection without further detail, such as unspecified conjunctival or ocular involvement. It also fits when the chart confirms gonococcal disease of the eye, but the site is not clarified. Check documentation if another eye diagnosis is listed.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for nongonococcal conjunctivitis, generalized gonococcal infection without eye involvement, or a more specific ocular gonococcal code when documented. Check documentation if the eye finding is only suspected.
Coding tip
If the note names the eye site more specifically, choose the more precise code instead of A54.30.
