Myopia, right eye

This code signifies nearsightedness affecting the right eye. Myopia is a refractive error where distant objects appear blurry because the eye focuses light in front of the retina.

Apply this code when documentation specifies myopia diagnosed in the patient's right eye. This is typically supported by an ophthalmologist's or optometrist's examination findings, including visual acuity testing and refraction results.

• Ensure laterality is clearly documented for the right eye; do not use for bilateral or unspecified eye myopia.
• Distinguish from other refractive errors like hyperopia or astigmatism.
• Code any associated complications or underlying causes of myopia separately.
