ICD-10 Code H54.414 – Blindness, right eye, category 4 (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H54.414 – Blindness, right eye, category 4
What it is
This code identifies severe visual loss in the right eye classified as blindness, category 4. Use it when documentation states the right eye meets this blindness category and the left eye status is not the focus of the code.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Records may describe profound loss of vision, inability to perceive useful detail, or legally defined blindness in the right eye.
When to use this code
Use this code when the chart specifically documents blindness in the right eye, category 4. It is appropriate for ophthalmology notes, problem lists, or consults that clearly assign this laterality and severity. Check documentation if the record uses a different blindness category or does not specify the eye.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for unspecified visual loss, low vision, or blindness in the left eye. If the note does not clearly support category 4, check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify laterality and the exact blindness category before assigning H54.414.
