ICD-10 codes for blindness and low vision are effective Oct. 1, 2017 and reflect parameters from the World Health Organization (WHO).
The definition of visual impairment and blindness contained the term “best Corrected Vision in the better eye. According to WHO, recent studies have shown that the use of “best corrected” vision overlooks large portions of visual impairments, including blindness, due to uncorrected refracted error.
The category, H54, includes codes for blindness and low vision and with that brings many changes for documentation and coding. In 2013 the World Health Organization (WHO) campaigned for greater clarity in the reporting of blindness and low vision and with this latest update we will be following those parameters.
Categories are divided between mild or no visual impairment, moderate, severe and blindness.
Uncorrected refractive error is now considered to be a major cause of visual impairment and estimations are under way to calculate the loss in terms of disability-adjusted life years (DALY) resulting from this cause.
Visual impairment categories 3, 4, 5 in one eye, with categories 1 or 2 in the other eye.

If the extent of the visual field is taken into account, patients with a field no greater than 10 but greater than 5 around central fixation should be placed in category 3 and patients with a field no greater than 5 around central fixation should be placed in category 4, even if the central acuity is not impaired..
