ICD-10 Code H27.1 – Dislocation of lens (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H27.1 – Dislocation of lens
What it is
H27.1 identifies dislocation of the lens, meaning the eye’s natural lens has moved out of its normal position. Use this code when documentation confirms lens displacement or luxation.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include blurred vision, monocular diplopia, or an abnormal lens position on eye exam. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H27.1 when the provider documents a dislocated or luxated lens, whether from trauma, zonular weakness, or another stated cause. It also fits cases described as lens subluxation if the record clearly supports lens displacement. If the note is unclear, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for cataract, aphakia, or other lens disorders without displacement. If the lens position is not documented, check documentation.
Coding tip
Code the lens dislocation only when the record explicitly states displacement; otherwise, query for clarification.
