About E10.355
E10.355 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for type 1 diabetes mellitus with stable proliferative diabetic retinopathy. It belongs to category E10 (type 1 diabetes mellitus), block E08-E13 (diabetes mellitus) and chapter 4 (endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: 1 for right eye, 2 for left eye, 3 for bilateral and 9 for unspecified eye. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.
