ICD-10 Code E70.318 – Other ocular albinism (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code E70.318 – Other ocular albinism
What it is
Other ocular albinism is a hereditary condition that affects eye pigmentation and vision. It is used when documentation identifies ocular albinism but does not specify a more exact type.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include reduced visual acuity, nystagmus, photophobia, and abnormal eye movement or foveal development. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use E70.318 when the record documents ocular albinism and the provider specifies it as other or not otherwise classified. It may also apply when the note confirms an inherited ocular pigment disorder with visual findings, but no more specific subtype is stated.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for generalized albinism affecting skin and hair, or for a more specific ocular albinism subtype that is documented elsewhere. Check documentation.
Coding tip
Code only what the provider documents; if the subtype is unclear, use the less specific ocular albinism code rather than assuming a different form.
