ICD-10 Code H18.029 – Argentous corneal deposits, unspecified eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H18.029 – Argentous corneal deposits, unspecified eye
What it is
This code identifies argentous deposits in the cornea of an unspecified eye. Use it when the record documents corneal silver-like deposits but does not specify right or left eye.
Clinical signs
Findings may include visible corneal discoloration or deposits noted on eye examination. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H18.029 when the provider documents argentous corneal deposits and laterality is not stated. It also fits when the note confirms the condition but does not describe an underlying cause or additional corneal disorder. Check documentation if the record is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code if the chart specifies right or left eye, because a more specific code may apply. Do not use it for other corneal opacities or deposits that are not documented as argentous.
Coding tip
Verify laterality in the ophthalmology note before assigning this unspecified-eye code.
