ICD-10 Code H54.114 – Blindness right eye category 4, low vision left eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H54.114 – Blindness right eye category 4, low vision left eye
What it is
This code identifies severe vision loss in the right eye with low vision in the left eye. Use it when documentation specifies these visual impairment categories for each eye.
Clinical signs
Patients may have markedly reduced visual acuity, limited functional vision, and difficulty reading or recognizing details. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H54.114 when the record clearly states blindness in the right eye, category 4, and low vision in the left eye. It applies to documented chronic visual impairment, not a temporary change. Check documentation if the laterality or severity is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unspecified vision loss, monocular blindness without the documented category, or transient visual symptoms. If the chart does not match both eyes and severity, check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify the exact eye, severity category, and whether the impairment is current before assigning this code.
