Unspecified visual disturbance. H53.9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM H53.9 became effective on October 1, 2018.
Like many of the current diagnosis code sets, the range of codes describing visual disturbances is set to expand considerably once ICD-10 takes effect on Oct. 1 of this year. Some of the ICD-9 codes in the 368.xx range (Visual Disturbances) will just get a one-to-one translation in ICD-10.
H53.4 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM H53.4 became effective on October 1, 2021.

8: Other visual disturbances.
Visual disturbance is when you experience a short spell of flashing or shimmering of light in your sight. The symptoms normally last around twenty minutes before your sight returns to normal. Usually, there is no headache during the visual disturbance.
When submitting claims for visual field testing, you have three CPT coding options: 92081: visual field examination, unilateral or bilateral, with interpretation and report; limited examination (e.g., tangent screen, or single stimulus level automated test)
DEFINITION. Visual defects are localized defects in a person's visual field. They can occur from a variety of causes such as trauma to the brain or visual pathway, diseases and disorders of the eye, optic nerve or the brain and systemic vascular disease.
Peripheral vision loss is the loss of side vision, leaving central vision intact. Vision Loss, Peripheral (Side) may be associated with: Carotid Artery Disease. Cytomegalovirus Retinitis. Diabetic Eye Disease.
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.

2 Diplopia. Diplopia is usually a symptom of eye misalignment.
Visual acuity is dependent on optical and neural factors, i.e. (1) the sharpness of the retinal image within the eye, (2) the health and functioning of the retina, and (3) the sensitivity of the interpretative faculty of the brain.
