ICD-10 Code H54.1152 – Blindness right eye category 5, low vision left eye category 2 (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H54.1152 – Blindness right eye category 5, low vision left eye category 2
What it is
This code identifies severe vision loss in the right eye, with blindness category 5, and reduced vision in the left eye, with low vision category 2. Use it when the documentation specifies both eye categories.
Clinical signs
Findings usually include profound loss of visual function in the right eye and measurable low vision in the left eye. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation and recorded visual acuity or functional vision assessment.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents blindness category 5 in the right eye and low vision category 2 in the left eye. It is appropriate for ophthalmology, optometry, or problem-list documentation that clearly states these bilateral category levels. Check documentation if laterality or category is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unspecified visual impairment, single-eye blindness alone, or low vision without the documented category levels. Do not guess the eye categories; check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and category before assigning H54.1152.
