ICD-10 Code H27.111 – Subluxation of lens, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide

The ICD-10 code for Subluxation of lens, right eye is H27.111.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H27.111 – Subluxation of lens, right eye

What it is

H27.111 identifies partial displacement of the crystalline lens in the right eye. The lens remains in the eye but is no longer fully centered in its normal position.

Clinical signs

Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings may include lens instability, visual distortion, monocular diplopia, or reduced vision when the displaced lens affects the visual axis.

When to use this code

Use this code when the provider documents subluxation of the lens in the right eye, including partial dislocation or zonular weakness affecting lens position. It applies when the right eye is specifically identified. If the record only says lens displacement without laterality, check documentation.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for complete lens dislocation, aphakia, or cataract alone. If the note describes the left eye or both eyes, select the appropriate laterality code instead.

Coding tip

Confirm laterality and whether the lens is subluxed versus fully dislocated before assigning H27.111.
