ICD-10 Code H54.414A – Blindness right eye category 4, normal vision left eye (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H54.414A – Blindness right eye category 4, normal vision left eye
What it is
This code identifies complete blindness in the right eye with normal vision in the left eye. It is used when the right eye meets category 4 visual impairment criteria and the opposite eye is documented as normal.
Clinical signs
Findings typically show no useful vision in the right eye, while the left eye retains normal visual function. 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 applies to unilateral blindness with the specific category 4 designation, not to reduced vision in both eyes. Confirm laterality and visual status from the record before assigning the code.
Do not use for
Do not use it for bilateral blindness, low vision only, or unspecified visual loss. If the documentation does not clearly state right-eye blindness with normal left-eye vision, check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify both laterality and the vision category; missing eye-specific detail can lead to incorrect coding.
