ICD Code H53.48 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the four child codes of H53.48 that describes the diagnosis 'generalized contraction of visual field' in more detail.
This is the American ICD-10-CM version of H53.4 - other international versions of ICD-10 H53.4 may differ. A localized defect in the visual field bordered by an area of normal vision. This occurs with a variety of eye diseases (e.g., retinal diseases and glaucoma); optic nerve diseases, and other conditions.

Since the brain organizes visual information through combining what both eyes are seeing into “visual fields”, a visual field deficit is defined as a problem with the brain's “map” of the visual fields. Humans generally have a 180 degree visual field both horizontally and vertically when using both eyes.
Visual field defects are a common visual manifestation that occurs as a result of stroke affecting the optic radiation fibers, leading to either hemianopia or quadrantanopia depending on the site of the lesion and the extent of damage to the optic radiation.
Tunnel vision, or peripheral vision loss (PVL), is a result of the loss of peripheral sight, or side vision. A person with PVL can only see what is directly in front of them.
Causes of permanent tunnel vision are: Glaucoma. Diabetic retinopathy. Stroke.
What is tunnel vision? Tunnel vision is the loss of side vision, where all you can see is the very center part of your vision. A person with tunnel vision can only see what is directly in front of them, as if they were looking through a straw. Glaucoma is a major cause of peripheral vision loss.
Low vision, left eye, normal vision right eye The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM H54. 52 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of H54. 52 - other international versions of ICD-10 H54.
If “blindness” or “low vision” in one eye is documented but the visual impairment category is not documented, assign a code from H54. 6-, Unqualified visual loss, one eye. If “blindness” or “visual loss” is documented without any information about whether one or both eyes are affected, assign code H54.

H53.48. Non-Billable means the code is not sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code H53.48 is a non-billable code.
Bitemporal hemianopsia (aka bitemporal heteronymous hemianopsia or bitemporal hemianopia) is the medical description of a type of partial blindness where vision is missing in the outer half of both the right and left visual field. It is usually associated with lesions of the optic chiasm, the area where the optic nerves from the right and left eyes cross near the pituitary gland.
