ICD-10 Code H11.2 – Conjunctival Scars (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H11.2 – Conjunctival scars
What it is
H11.2 identifies scarring of the conjunctiva, the thin membrane covering the white of the eye and inner eyelids. Use it when documentation states conjunctival scar or scar tissue involving the conjunctiva.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Scarring may appear as visible conjunctival fibrosis, adhesions, or surface irregularity on eye examination.
When to use this code
Use H11.2 when the provider documents conjunctival scarring as the diagnosis or a significant finding. It fits records describing residual scar tissue after inflammation, injury, surgery, or other conjunctival disease, when the scar itself is being coded.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for active conjunctivitis, corneal scars, or eyelid scars. If the note only mentions prior eye disease without current conjunctival scarring, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the scar only when the record clearly identifies the conjunctiva as the affected site.
