The ICD-10 code for Rosacea conjunctivitis, left eye is H10.822.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H10.822 – Rosacea conjunctivitis, left eye

What it is

Use this code for rosacea-related inflammation of the conjunctiva in the left eye. It identifies a unilateral ocular manifestation associated with rosacea, not general facial rosacea alone.

Clinical signs

Typical findings may include conjunctival redness, irritation, burning, tearing, and eyelid margin inflammation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Assign H10.822 when the provider documents rosacea conjunctivitis affecting only the left eye. Use it when the note clearly links conjunctival inflammation to rosacea and specifies laterality.

If the record only says “rosacea” without eye involvement, this code is not supported. Check documentation when laterality, ocular involvement, or the rosacea connection is unclear.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for unspecified conjunctivitis, bilateral disease, or rosacea limited to the skin. Check documentation if the eye condition is not clearly attributed to rosacea.

Coding tip

Verify both the rosacea association and left-eye laterality before assigning H10.822.
