ICD-10 Code H52.532 – Spasm of accommodation, left eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H52.532 – Spasm of accommodation, left eye
What it is
This code identifies a spasm of accommodation affecting the left eye. It means the eye’s focusing muscle stays overly contracted, causing difficulty relaxing focus for distance vision.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include blurred distance vision, variable refraction, eye strain, or headaches. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation, especially if the note specifies pseudomyopia or accommodative excess.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents spasm of accommodation in the left eye, or a clearly equivalent term tied to the left eye. It may appear in ophthalmology or optometry records after examination of focusing complaints. If laterality is not documented, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for general blurred vision, unspecified eye strain, or bilateral accommodative spasm unless the left eye is specifically documented. Check documentation when the record only states accommodative dysfunction.
Coding tip
Confirm laterality in the assessment, because H52.532 is only for the left eye.
