ICD-10 Code H54.0X34 – Blindness right eye category 3, blindness left eye category 4 (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H54.0X34 – Blindness right eye category 3, blindness left eye category 4
What it is
This code identifies severe visual loss in both eyes, with the right eye in blindness category 3 and the left eye in blindness category 4. Use it when documentation specifies these eye-specific vision categories.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Findings usually reflect profound visual impairment, with the degree of loss documented separately for each eye using recognized blindness categories.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider records blindness category 3 in the right eye and category 4 in the left eye. It is appropriate when the chart clearly supports bilateral severe vision loss and the eye-specific categories are documented. Check documentation if laterality or category is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unspecified visual loss, low vision without documented blindness categories, or when only one eye is described. If the record does not state both eye categories, check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and category before assigning H54.0X34.
