ICD-10 Code H54.2X2 – Low vision, right eye, category 2 (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H54.2X2 – Low vision, right eye, category 2
What it is
This code identifies low vision in the right eye, category 2. Use it when documentation specifies reduced vision in the right eye that meets category 2 criteria, without better vision being described.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include persistent visual impairment in the right eye that limits daily activities. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the recorded visual acuity or functional description.
When to use this code
Use H54.2X2 when the provider documents low vision affecting only the right eye and states category 2. It is appropriate when the record supports unilateral low vision and does not identify a more specific ocular disorder as the primary reason for coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for blindness, unspecified low vision, or low vision in the left eye. Check documentation if the record does not clearly state the eye and category.
Coding tip
Verify laterality and the exact low-vision category before assigning the code.
