Specific Coding for Blindness, right eye, category 3 Header codes like H54.413 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10 codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for blindness, right eye, category 3: H54.413A - Blindness right eye category 3, normal vision left eye
Unspecified visual loss
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
What is an ICD-10 diagnosis code? The ICD-10-CM (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification) is a system used by physicians and other healthcare providers to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms and procedures recorded in conjunction with hospital care in the United States.
ICD-10 code H54. 41 for Blindness, right eye, normal vision left eye is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .
ICD-10-CM Code for Blindness, both eyes H54. 0.
If “blindness” or “visual loss” is documented without any information about whether one or both eyes are affected, assign code H54. 7, Unspecified visual loss.
Definition: Visual Loss: objective loss of visual acuity during a finite period attributable to an underlying disease.

If you're legally blind, your vision is 20/200 or less in your better eye or your field of vision is less than 20 degrees. That means if an object is 200 feet away, you have to stand 20 feet from it in order to see it clearly.
Legal blindness occurs when a person has central visual acuity (vision that allows a person to see straight ahead of them) of 20/200 or less in his or her better eye with correction. With 20/200 visual acuity, a person can see at 20 feet, what a person with 20/20 vision sees at 200 feet.
1 Severe visual impairment, binocular. Visual impairment category 2.
There are three main types of blindness. Color blindness is the inability to perceive differences in various shades of colors, particularly green and red, that others can distinguish.
H54. 7 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Functional Visual Loss (FVL) is a decrease in visual acuity and/or visual field not caused by any organic lesion. It is therefore also called “nonorganic visual loss” (NOVL). This entity is considered within the spectrum of “conversion disorder”, malingering, somatic symptom disorder, and “factitious disorder”.
H54.41 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of blindness, right eye, normal vision left eye. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Visual impairment, also known as vision impairment or vision loss, is a decreased ability to see to a degree that causes problems not fixable by usual means, such as glasses. Some also include those who have a decreased ability to see because they do not have access to glasses or contact lenses. Visual impairment is often defined as a best corrected visual acuity of worse than either 20/40 or 20/60. The term blindness is used for complete or nearly complete vision loss. Visual impairment may cause people difficulties with normal daily activities such as driving, reading, socializing, and walking.
Low vision is a chronic eye disorder that a person cannot treat with glasses, contact lenses, or medical or surgical treatment. It includes varying levels of vision loss, blind spots, poor night vision, and trouble with blindness to almost total loss of vision.
There are two categories of low vision- one is partially sighted and the other one is legally blind. Moreover, partially sighted mentions the visual activity between 20/70 and 20/200 along with conventional prescription lenses.
