ICD-10 Code H20.2 – Lens-induced iridocyclitis (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H20.2 – Lens-induced iridocyclitis
What it is
Lens-induced iridocyclitis is inflammation of the iris and ciliary body caused by lens material or lens-related pathology. Use this code when the record shows anterior uveitis linked to the lens.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include eye pain, redness, photophobia, and blurred vision. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for evidence that the inflammation is specifically lens-related.
When to use this code
Use H20.2 when the provider documents iridocyclitis due to a lens cause, such as lens-induced inflammation after cataract-related changes or lens disruption. Code the condition only when the lens association is clearly stated in the note. Check documentation if the cause is uncertain.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for nonspecific anterior uveitis without a lens cause. Do not assign it when the record describes another ocular inflammatory disorder or the etiology is not documented.
Coding tip
Look for the exact phrase “lens-induced” or an equivalent documented lens cause before assigning H20.2.
