ICD-10 Code H15.8 – Other disorders of sclera (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H15.8 – Other disorders of sclera
What it is
H15.8 identifies scleral disorders that do not have a more specific ICD-10-CM code. Use it for documented abnormal conditions of the white outer coat of the eye when the record does not fit another sclera diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Findings may include visible scleral discoloration, thinning, nodules, inflammation, or other abnormal scleral changes noted on eye examination.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents a nonspecific or other scleral disorder and no more detailed code applies. It is appropriate for charted scleral abnormalities that are not classified elsewhere. If the note names a specific scleral condition, choose that more exact code instead.
Do not use for
Do not use H15.8 for conjunctival, corneal, or uveal disorders. If the documentation identifies a more specific scleral diagnosis, or the site is unclear, check documentation before coding.
Coding tip
Code H15.8 only when the record clearly supports an unspecified “other” scleral disorder and no better-matching code is available.
