ICD-10 Code H50.011 – Monocular Esotropia, Right Eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H50.011 – Monocular esotropia, right eye
What it is
H50.011 identifies inward turning of the right eye that occurs without the left eye sharing the deviation. It is a form of strabismus limited to one eye.
Clinical signs
You may see the right eye deviate inward on examination, with poor ocular alignment and possible fixation preference. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record documents monocular esotropia affecting the right eye specifically. Apply it for confirmed right-eye inward deviation, including cases noted on ophthalmic exam or specialist assessment. Check documentation if laterality is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unspecified esotropia, alternating esotropia, or inward deviation of the left eye. Do not assign it when the chart does not clearly identify the right eye.
Coding tip
Confirm laterality in the provider note before coding, because eye-side specificity determines the correct ICD-10 code.
