ICD-10 Code H40.141 – Capsular Glaucoma with Pseudoexfoliation of Lens, Right Eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H40.141 – Capsular glaucoma with pseudoexfoliation of lens, right eye
What it is
This code identifies glaucoma in the right eye associated with pseudoexfoliation of the lens capsule. It indicates a secondary, open-angle glaucoma pattern linked to exfoliative material in the eye.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include elevated intraocular pressure, optic nerve damage, and visual field loss. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for pseudoexfoliative material and laterality.
When to use this code
Use H40.141 when the provider documents capsular glaucoma with pseudoexfoliation involving the right eye. Code it when the diagnosis is confirmed and the record specifies the right eye, not just glaucoma or pseudoexfoliation alone.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for glaucoma without pseudoexfoliation, or when the left eye or unspecified eye is documented instead. Check documentation if the record does not clearly link the glaucoma to pseudoexfoliation.
Coding tip
Verify both the glaucoma type and right-eye laterality before assigning H40.141.
