ICD-10 Code H54.113 – Blindness right eye category 3, low vision left eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H54.113 – Blindness right eye category 3, low vision left eye
What it is
This code identifies severe vision loss in the right eye with category 3 low vision in the left eye. Use it when documentation specifies this exact combination of visual impairment.
Clinical signs
Patients typically have marked reduction in visual acuity, often with major difficulty reading, recognizing faces, or navigating safely. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H54.113 when the record clearly states blindness in the right eye and category 3 low vision in the left eye. It also fits ophthalmology notes, problem lists, or referral documentation that names this exact laterality and severity. If the chart only says “vision loss” or gives incomplete eye-specific detail, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unspecified low vision, bilateral blindness without eye-specific detail, or milder visual impairment categories. Check documentation if the laterality or severity differs.
Coding tip
Verify both eye and severity terms exactly as documented before assigning H54.113.
