ICD-10 Code E50.7 – Other ocular manifestations of vitamin A deficiency (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E50.7 – Other ocular manifestations of vitamin A deficiency
What it is
E50.7 identifies eye problems caused by vitamin A deficiency that are not classified elsewhere. Use it when documentation links ocular findings to low vitamin A status.
Clinical signs
Clinical features may include night blindness, dry conjunctiva, or other ocular surface changes. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record states vitamin A deficiency with ocular involvement and does not fit a more specific E50 category. It is appropriate for documented eye manifestations attributed to deficiency, such as xerophthalmic changes or related ocular complaints. Check documentation if the eye finding is described without a confirmed nutritional cause.
Do not use for
Do not use E50.7 for isolated vitamin A deficiency without eye findings. Also avoid it when the ocular condition has another documented cause or a more specific diagnosis is recorded.
Coding tip
Confirm both the vitamin A deficiency and the ocular manifestation are documented together before assigning E50.7.
