Intermittent monocular exotropia, right eye

This code signifies a condition where the right eye intermittently deviates outward, away from the nose, while the left eye maintains proper alignment. This type of strabismus is not constant, meaning the eye deviation occurs only at certain times or under specific conditions, rather than continuously.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates intermittent exotropia affecting only the right eye. This diagnosis is typically made during an ophthalmological examination, often supported by cover/uncover tests or observation of intermittent ocular misalignment. Use when the laterality is explicitly stated as the right eye.

• Ensure documentation specifies "intermittent" and "monocular" for accurate code assignment.
• Differentiate from constant exotropia (H50.1-) and alternating exotropia (H50.32-).
• Verify laterality; do not use for left eye or bilateral involvement.
