ICD-10 Code H52.11 – Myopia, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H52.11 – Myopia, right eye
What it is
H52.11 identifies nearsightedness in the right eye. It means distant objects are blurred because light focuses in front of the retina.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include reduced distance vision and improved near vision. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents myopia limited to the right eye. It is appropriate for routine eye exams, refraction results, or problem lists that specify right-eye nearsightedness. If laterality is not documented, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use it for myopia of the left eye, both eyes, or unspecified eye. Avoid using it when the record only states blurred vision without a documented diagnosis.
Coding tip
Confirm laterality in the assessment or exam note before assigning H52.11.
