ICD-10 Code H11.212 – Conjunctival adhesions and strands (localized), left eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H11.212 – Conjunctival adhesions and strands (localized), left eye
What it is
This code identifies localized adhesions or fibrous strands involving the conjunctiva of the left eye. It describes an anatomic finding, not a specific cause.
Clinical signs
Findings may include visible conjunctival bands, tethering, or restricted movement of the ocular surface tissues. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H11.212 when the provider documents localized conjunctival adhesions or strands in the left eye. It may apply after prior inflammation, surgery, trauma, or scarring, if the record clearly identifies the left eye and a localized conjunctival adhesion.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for generalized conjunctival scarring, unspecified eye involvement, or conditions documented only as conjunctivitis. Check documentation when the record does not clearly state laterality or localization.
Coding tip
Verify that the note specifies both left eye and localized conjunctival involvement before assigning H11.212.
