ICD-10 Code H35.62 – Retinal hemorrhage, left eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H35.62 – Retinal hemorrhage, left eye
What it is
H35.62 identifies bleeding within the retina of the left eye. Use it when documentation specifies a retinal hemorrhage limited to the left eye.
Clinical signs
Findings may include visible retinal bleeding on eye examination, blurred vision, floaters, or reduced visual acuity. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents retinal hemorrhage in the left eye, whether described as focal, diffuse, or associated with another retinal disorder. It is appropriate when the left eye is clearly identified and the record does not support a more specific diagnosis.
Do not use for
Do not use it for hemorrhage in the right eye, both eyes, or unspecified eye. Check documentation if the bleeding is described as vitreous, preretinal, or another non-retinal location.
Coding tip
Always confirm laterality and the exact retinal site in the note before assigning H35.62.
