ICD-10 Code H54.1131 – Blindness right eye category 3, low vision left eye category 1 (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H54.1131 – Blindness right eye category 3, low vision left eye category 1
What it is
This code identifies severe vision loss in the right eye and mild low vision in the left eye. Use it when documentation specifies these visual impairment categories for each eye.
Clinical signs
Findings may include marked reduction in visual acuity in the right eye and measurable low vision in the left eye. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents blindness category 3 in the right eye and low vision category 1 in the left eye. It fits ophthalmology, optometry, or problem-list documentation that clearly assigns both eye categories. If the record only states “vision loss” without category detail, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use it for unspecified visual impairment, unilateral blindness alone, or low vision without the documented category combination. Check documentation if laterality or severity is unclear.
Coding tip
Verify that both eyes and both categories are documented before assigning H54.1131.
