ICD-10 Code H11.211 – Conjunctival adhesions and strands (localized), right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H11.211 – Conjunctival adhesions and strands (localized), right eye
What it is
H11.211 identifies localized adhesions or fibrous strands involving the conjunctiva of the right eye. Use it when the record specifies this unilateral finding and not a broader conjunctival disorder.
Clinical signs
Findings may include visible conjunctival bands, tethering, or scarring on examination. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for laterality, localization, and whether the adhesion is isolated.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents conjunctival adhesions or strands limited to the right eye. It is appropriate for outpatient, specialist, or problem-list documentation that clearly identifies the localized right-sided condition.
If the note only says “conjunctival scarring” or does not specify laterality, check documentation before assigning H11.211. Make sure the record does not describe a different conjunctival lesion or a more generalized eye disorder.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unspecified eye laterality, bilateral conjunctival adhesions, or conditions outside the conjunctiva. Check documentation if the finding is part of a broader ocular injury or postoperative issue.
Coding tip
Verify that “right eye” and “localized” are documented before coding H11.211.
