ICD-10 Code H05.211 – Displacement (lateral) of globe, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H05.211 – Displacement (lateral) of globe, right eye
What it is
This code identifies a sideways displacement of the right eyeball from its normal position within the orbit. It describes the anatomic finding, not the cause. Check documentation for the underlying condition.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see visible lateral deviation of the globe, orbital asymmetry, or complaints of altered eye position. Associated trauma, mass effect, or congenital abnormality may be noted.
When to use this code
Use H05.211 when the record clearly documents lateral displacement of the right globe. This may appear in trauma, orbital disease, or structural abnormality notes. Code it only when the right eye and lateral direction are specified.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for nonspecific eye pain, swelling, or general proptosis without lateral displacement. If the side or direction is not documented, check documentation before assigning H05.211.
Coding tip
Verify that both laterality and direction are documented; if either is missing, query the provider.
