Code category I69* (Sequelae of cerebrovascular disease) specifies the type of stroke that caused the sequelae (late effect) as well as the residual condition itself.

Coding Guidelines Residual neurological effects of a stroke or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) should be documented using CPT category I69 codes indicating sequelae of cerebrovascular disease. Codes I60-67 specify hemiplegia, hemiparesis, and monoplegia and identify whether the dominant or nondominant side is affected.
When reporting sequela(e), you usually will need to report two codes. The first describes the condition or nature of the sequela(e) and the second describes the sequela(e) or “late effect.” For example, you may report M81.

History of Stroke (ICD-10 code Z86. 73) should be used when the patient is being seen in an out patient setting subsequent to an inpatient stay. In addition, this code should be used when the patient does not exhibit neurologic deficits due to cerebrovascular disease (i.e., no late effects due to stroke).

A transient visual loss is used to indicate loss of visual function lasting less than 24 hours. A proper history regarding timing, pattern, provoking factors, and associated symptoms can often provide a clue to the cause of the episode.[3] 1.
Category I69 is to be used to indicate conditions in I60 - I67 as the cause of sequelae. The 'sequelae' include conditions specified as such or as residuals which may occur at any time after the onset of the causal condition. Type 1 Excludes.
In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
The term 'low vision' in category H54 comprises categories 1 and 2 of the table, the term 'blindness' categories 3, 4 and 5, and the term 'unqualified visual loss' category 9.
Low vision generally refers to visual disorders that are caused by diseases that cannot be corrected by refraction (e.g., macular degeneration; retinitis pigmentosa; diabetic retinopathy, etc.). Visual loss: objective loss of visual acuity during a finite period attributable to an underlying disease.

The quick answer is, you have a couple choices, and the couple choices is you can code it as a history, Z86.73, or you can code it as unspecified sequelae I69.30. Now, the long answer; when you look at those two codes, always err on the side of caution here, but let’s look at this and read them.
Now, in ICD-10 it is very specific.
