ICD-10 Code H43.8 – Other disorders of vitreous body (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H43.8 – Other disorders of vitreous body
What it is
H43.8 identifies vitreous body disorders that are not classified elsewhere. Use it when the documentation describes an abnormal vitreous condition but does not name a more specific vitreous diagnosis.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Common findings may include visual floaters, blurred vision, or vitreous opacities noted on eye examination.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents an unspecified or other vitreous disorder, such as vitreous degeneration or other abnormal vitreous change not captured by a more specific code. It also fits when the record confirms a vitreous problem but does not provide enough detail for a narrower selection.
Do not use for
Do not use H43.8 for vitreous hemorrhage, vitreous detachment, or other separately coded vitreous conditions. Check documentation if the note names a specific disorder elsewhere in the H43 category.
Coding tip
If the chart says only “vitreous disorder,” look for added detail before assigning H43.8.
