ICD-10 Code H35.411 – Lattice Degeneration of Retina, Right Eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H35.411 – Lattice degeneration of retina, right eye
What it is
Lattice degeneration is a peripheral retinal thinning disorder that affects the right eye. It describes a structural change in the retina, not a treatment or symptom.
Clinical signs
Findings may include peripheral retinal thinning, visible lattice-like lines, and possible retinal holes or tears. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H35.411 when the provider documents lattice degeneration specifically in the right eye. Code it for confirmed retinal examination findings, even if the patient is asymptomatic.
Do not use a nonspecific retinal disorder code when the note clearly identifies the right eye. Check documentation if the laterality is unclear or if both eyes are involved.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for lattice degeneration of the left eye or bilateral disease. It is also incorrect for retinal tears, detachment, or nonspecific visual complaints without documented lattice degeneration.
Coding tip
Always verify laterality in the ophthalmology note before assigning H35.411.
