ICD-10 Code H54.1141 – Blindness right eye category 4, low vision left eye category 1 (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H54.1141 – Blindness right eye category 4, 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 vision categories for each eye.
Clinical signs
Findings usually include profound loss of useful vision in the right eye and reduced visual acuity in the left eye. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record clearly states blindness category 4 in the right eye and low vision category 1 in the left eye. It fits ophthalmology notes, problem lists, or specialist reports that document eye-specific vision categories. Check documentation if laterality or category is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use it for unspecified visual impairment, monocular blindness without the coded left-eye category, or vision loss described only in general terms. Do not assume the category from acuity alone.
Coding tip
Code only when both eyes and both categories are explicitly documented.
