ICD-10 Code H35.061 – Retinal vasculitis, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H35.061 – Retinal vasculitis, right eye
What it is
H35.061 identifies inflammation of the retinal blood vessels in the right eye. Use it when documentation specifies retinal vasculitis limited to the right eye.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Commonly noted findings include retinal vessel inflammation, perivascular sheathing, and signs of retinal edema or ischemia on eye examination.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents retinal vasculitis affecting the right eye only. It may appear in ophthalmology or uveitis assessments when the laterality is clear. If the record does not specify the eye, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use H35.061 for unspecified laterality, bilateral disease, or vasculitis outside the retina. Check documentation if the note describes broader uveitis or another retinal disorder instead.
Coding tip
Confirm laterality in the assessment or impression, because the code is specific to the right eye.
