ICD-10 Code H50.032 – Monocular esotropia with V pattern, left eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H50.032 – Monocular esotropia with V pattern, left eye
What it is
H50.032 identifies inward turning of the left eye that follows a V-pattern. Use it when the deviation is monocular and specifically documented in the left eye.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include esotropia that changes with gaze position, often greater in upgaze than downgaze. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents left-eye monocular esotropia with a V pattern. It fits ophthalmology or optometry notes describing the pattern, laterality, and that the deviation is limited to one eye. Check documentation if the record does not clearly specify left eye or V-pattern alignment.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unspecified esotropia, alternating deviation, or horizontal strabismus without a V pattern. If laterality or pattern is missing, check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and pattern before assigning H50.032.
