ICD-10 Code H54.41 – Blindness, right eye, normal vision left eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H54.41 – Blindness, right eye, normal vision left eye
What it is
H54.41 identifies complete blindness in the right eye while the left eye has normal vision. Use it when documentation clearly states unilateral blindness with preserved vision in the opposite eye.
Clinical signs
Findings usually show no useful vision in the right eye, with the left eye functioning normally. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents blindness of the right eye and normal vision in the left eye. It fits cases such as longstanding vision loss, trauma-related blindness, or disease-related unilateral blindness when laterality is specified.
Do not use for
Do not use it for low vision, blurred vision, or partial sight in the right eye. If the record does not confirm blindness or left-eye normal vision, check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and the degree of vision loss before assigning H54.41.
