H53.3Other and unspecified disorders of binocular vision

H53.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other and unspecified disorders of binocular vision. It belongs to category H53 (visual disturbances), block H53-H54 (visual disturbances and blindness) and chapter 7 (diseases of the eye and adnexa). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 5 subcodes must be used instead.

Within H53, choose H53.3 (Other and unspecified disorders of binocular vision) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: amblyopia ex anopsia (H53.0), subjective visual disturbances (H53.1), Diplopia (H53.2), visual field defects (H53.4), color vision deficiencies (H53.5), night blindness (H53.6), vision sensitivity deficiencies (H53.7), other visual disturbances (H53.8) and 1 more.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H53.30 (vision), H53.31 (correspondence), H53.32 (stereopsis), H53.33 (fusion) and H53.34 (vision).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
