ICD-10 Code H11.822 – Conjunctivochalasis, left eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H11.822 – Conjunctivochalasis, left eye
What it is
H11.822 identifies lax, redundant conjunctival tissue on the left eye. This code describes a localized ocular surface condition, not a general eye irritation.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include loose conjunctival folds, especially near the lower lid margin, with tearing, foreign-body sensation, or intermittent irritation. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents conjunctivochalasis affecting the left eye. It is appropriate when the note specifies laterality and does not describe a different conjunctival disorder. If documentation is unclear, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use H11.822 for unspecified conjunctival irritation, conjunctivitis, or conjunctivochalasis of the right eye or both eyes. Verify the documented diagnosis and laterality before coding.
Coding tip
Match the code to the exact eye documented; laterality matters for this diagnosis.
