ICD-10 Code H15 – Disorders of sclera (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H15 – Disorders of sclera
What it is
H15 covers disorders affecting the sclera, the white outer coat of the eye. Use it when documentation identifies a scleral disease or abnormality without a more specific diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Scleral disorders may be noted with eye redness, pain, visible discoloration, thinning, or structural change on examination.
When to use this code
Use H15 when the provider documents a disorder of the sclera and no more specific ICD-10-CM code applies. It may fit charted scleral inflammation, degeneration, or other scleral abnormality. If the record names a specific condition, code that diagnosis instead.
Do not use for
Do not use H15 for corneal, conjunctival, or uveal disorders. Also avoid it when documentation supports a more specific eye diagnosis.
Coding tip
Review the ophthalmology note for the exact scleral diagnosis before assigning H15.
