ICD-10 Code H50.54 – Cyclophoria (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H50.54 – Cyclophoria
What it is
Cyclophoria is a latent torsional eye misalignment, meaning the eyes tend to rotate slightly around the line of sight when fusion is interrupted. Use this code when documentation identifies cyclophoria specifically.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Providers may note torsional deviation, eye strain, or difficulty maintaining binocular alignment during testing, especially when fusion is broken.
When to use this code
Use H50.54 when the record documents cyclophoria as the diagnosed condition, such as during a binocular vision or orthoptic evaluation. Code it when the provider distinguishes it from manifest strabismus or other ocular motility disorders. If the note is nonspecific, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for general strabismus, cyclotropia, or other eye movement disorders unless cyclophoria is clearly documented. If the diagnosis is uncertain, check documentation.
Coding tip
Confirm the chart states cyclophoria by name, because torsional alignment findings alone may not support this code.
