The ICD-10 code for Retinal detachment with retinal dialysis, right eye is H33.041.
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H33.041 – Retinal detachment with retinal dialysis, right eye

What it is

This code identifies a retinal detachment in the right eye caused by retinal dialysis, which is a separation of the retina at the ora serrata. Use it when the record clearly links the detachment to the dialysis.

Clinical signs

Typical findings include a detached retina on eye examination, often with reduced vision, flashes, floaters, or a peripheral visual field defect. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Use H33.041 when the provider documents retinal detachment of the right eye and specifies retinal dialysis as the cause or associated finding. It also applies when the note states “retinal dialysis with detachment” or equivalent wording. Check documentation if laterality or causation is unclear.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for retinal dialysis without detachment, or for detachment in another eye. If the record only says “retinal detachment” without dialysis, select the more general detachment code instead.

Coding tip

Confirm both laterality and the documented relationship between dialysis and detachment before assigning H33.041.
