ICD-10 Code H50.112 – Monocular exotropia, left eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H50.112 – Monocular exotropia, left eye
What it is
Monocular exotropia of the left eye means the left eye turns outward while the other eye is not aligned the same way. Use this code when the deviation is limited to one eye and specifically documented as left.
Clinical signs
Common findings include visible outward deviation of the left eye, poor ocular alignment, and possible intermittent or constant misalignment. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H50.112 when the record clearly states monocular exotropia of the left eye, including exam notes from ophthalmology or optometry. It also fits when the provider documents left-eye outward deviation as the confirmed diagnosis. If laterality or type is unclear, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unspecified exotropia, alternating exotropia, or exotropia affecting the right eye. Check documentation if the note describes a different strabismus pattern.
Coding tip
Confirm both laterality and that the exotropia is monocular before assigning H50.112.
