ICD-10 Code H52.531 – Spasm of accommodation, right eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H52.531 – Spasm of accommodation, right eye
What it is
This code identifies a spasm of the eye’s focusing muscle in the right eye. It means the eye stays overly contracted, making distance vision temporarily blurry or unstable.
Clinical signs
Patients may report blurred vision, fluctuating focus, eye strain, or difficulty shifting from near to distant viewing. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents spasm of accommodation limited to the right eye. It is appropriate when the note clearly identifies the eye and the diagnosis, not just nonspecific visual complaints. If laterality is not documented, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use it for general refractive error, unspecified accommodative problems, or symptoms without a documented diagnosis. Do not assign it when the right eye is not specified.
Coding tip
Confirm laterality in the assessment or impression, because H52.531 is specific to the right eye.
