About H57.8

H57.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified disorders of eye and adnexa. It belongs to category H57 (other disorders of eye and adnexa), block H55-H57 (other disorders of eye and adnexa) 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within H57, choose H57.8 (Other specified disorders of eye and adnexa) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: anomalies of pupillary function (H57.0), ocular pain (H57.1) and unspecified disorder of eye and adnexa (H57.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: H57.81 (ptosis), H57.89 (adnexa) and H57.8A ((ocular)).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015, and changed in FY2019 (expanded into subcodes).

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 379.8 (other specified disorders of eye and adnexa).
