Irregular astigmatism, right eye. H52.211 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 H52.211 became effective on October 1, 2018.
H52.219 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of irregular astigmatism, unspecified eye. The code H52.219 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code H52.219 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like irregular astigmatism, irregular astigmatism, irregular astigmatism - corneal, irregular astigmatism - lenticular or postoperative irregular astigmatism.#N#Unspecified diagnosis codes like H52.219 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.
The cause could be the length of the eyeball (longer or shorter), changes in the shape of the cornea, or aging of the lens. Four common refractive errors are.
The cause could be the length of the eyeball (longer or shorter), changes in the shape of the cornea, or aging of the lens. Four common refractive errors are. Myopia, or nearsightedness - clear vision close up but blurry in the distance. Hyperopia, or farsightedness - clear vision in the distance but blurry close up.
Myopia, or nearsightedness - clear vision close up but blurry in the distance. Hyperopia, or farsightedness - clear vision in the distance but blurry close up. Presbyopia - inability to focus close up as a result of aging. Astigmatism - focus problems caused by the cornea. The most common symptom is blurred vision.
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code H52.219 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
A refractive error, or refraction error, is an error in the focusing of light by the eye and a frequent reason for reduced visual acuity.

The cornea and lens of your eye helps you focus. Refractive errors are vision problems that happen when the shape of the eye keeps you from focusing well. The cause could be the length of the eyeball (longer or shorter), changes in the shape of the cornea, or aging of the lens.
A refractive error, or refraction error, is an error in the focusing of light by the eye and a frequent reason for reduced visual acuity.
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code H52.219 and a single ICD9 code, 367.22 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
