ICD-10 Code H11.141 – Conjunctival xerosis, unspecified, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H11.141 – Conjunctival xerosis, unspecified, right eye
What it is
H11.141 identifies dryness of the conjunctiva in the right eye. Use it when documentation specifies conjunctival xerosis, but does not describe a more specific cause or severity.
Clinical signs
Findings may include a dry, rough conjunctival surface, irritation, or a feeling of grittiness. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents conjunctival xerosis affecting the right eye and no further detail is given. It may apply in dry-eye related notes when the conjunctiva is specifically named, but the record does not support a more exact code. Check documentation if laterality or etiology is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use it for generalized dry eye without conjunctival involvement or when the left eye or both eyes are documented instead. Avoid it if the record names a different conjunctival disorder.
Coding tip
Verify laterality and the exact wording in the note before assigning H11.141.
