Definition: Visual Loss: objective loss of visual acuity during a finite period attributable to an underlying disease.
If “blindness” or “low vision” in one eye is documented but the visual impairment category is not documented, assign a code from H54. 6-, Unqualified visual loss, one eye. If “blindness” or “visual loss” is documented without any information about whether one or both eyes are affected, assign code H54.

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 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.
History of vision problem. Personal condition of sight problem. Visual impairment. Clinical Information. Limitation in visual functions. Reduced ability to perceive visual stimuli. Vision considered to be inferior to normal vision as represented by accepted standards of acuity, field of vision, or motility.
V Codes (in the DSM-5 and ICD-9) and Z Codes (in the ICD-10), also known as Other Conditions That May Be a Focus of Clinical Attention, addresses issues that are a focus of clinical attention or affect the diagnosis, course, prognosis, or treatment of a patient's mental disorder. However, these codes are not mental disorders.
The ICD-10 online manual has a much more comprehensive list of all the V codes that can be used. The list below contains the commonly used codes in behavioural and mental health.
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.
